The Stranger Who Had My Heart

I thought I knew you
I thought I loved you
I thought I will always want you
Until you revealed the other side of you

We use to go out and have fun
We were gone from night fall to the rising of the sun
Everything that we've done, we've done as one
The love and affection was there but now there's none

I should have looked deep in your eyes
Maybe I would have seen that you weren't such a good guy
Time revealed all of your lies
Which left me alone, heart and eyes ready to cry

I thought that this time, I found the right man
That this time, a ring will be put on my hand
But I guess that I'll have to wait for the next man
Because here I am in the same position once again

I guess I was dumb and blind
Because I didn't see the signs
I blocked it off from my mind
Not knowing that in it the truth we will find

I never thought I'll see this day
The day we'll break up and we both go our own way
Forever in my heart you'll stay
But tattooed in my mind is the game you played

I will never forget how you hurt me
My scars are so obvious for everyone to see
So there's no need to hide my feelings
But memories of the good times will help and heal me
