The Lies of the Eyes

The man of my dreams is what I once had But now he's gone and I'm alone and sad I don't know what happened to your love One minute you're happy and here, and the next, you're gone and gave up You didn't want to do what you did to me Somebody talked you into it, is what I believe I kept my hopes up and made myself feel better by saying you'll come back But I had to wake up from that dreamlover and stop believing that I had to tell myself the truth That it was time to move on because ho no longer wants you At first, I didn't want to listen to everybody else But one day I had to because that's what I ended up telling myself I thought we would stay together forever But instead, you had me as your game and played me clever I should have listened when everybody told me That I should leave you alone 'cause you meant no good to me They say that experience is the best teacher in the world I should have listened then maybe I wouldn't be classified as another dumb girl The next time I see you I will thank you Thank you for teaching me how not to look for a guy Because I now know that you cannot pick a man just by looking in his eyes Back then, I didn't know that you were all about lies Now I wished that I would have looked deeper and past your eyes
