Victim of Love

When I set my eyes on you the first day It wasn't the first time I was falling in love at first sight The first lines I used on you and you went deep crazy Forgive me, it wasn't the first time I was hitting on them When I promised you heaven and you danced to my tune Forgive me, it wasn't the first time I was promising anyway When I told you, there was something in your eyes Forgive me, I actually saw nothing I was only a man of the deep ocean Sent by my desires to swim And I did swim anyway, so forgive me! When I took you to the movies I actually did not love movies that much Forgive me, for I only wanted you as one When I took you out to watch the football matches I actually was not a lover of ball Forgive me, you were my game And I so much wanted a match from you Out of all the processes in my organs Melting my heart was actually not one of them Forgive me, I lied Catching a grenade for you was not within what I could do But I said it anyway, and you fell deep in my muscles Forgive me, I am walking away! I know you did not see this coming But it has come anyway If you need more of me, play the memories a little Not all men are like me So don't judge them by my own nail You can always love again I was only a player, you my game You fell in my match, but I didn't wish for a team So away I carry my steps Letting you out to the world of flesh I never loved I loved the game But do not throw a stone It might hit someone, maybe not me! So as you read this letter Judge not others by the sins I made But I am still human Maybe I shall love someday, someone, but not you Move on, because life doesn't stop Forgive me, Forgive my lies Forgive the days I spent with you Forgive the nights I promised you heaven Away I carry my steps To find another victim of love
