What Have I Done

I gave you everything I had
I hoped it was enough
to make you see just who I am
I'd hoped you'd look past all that stuff 

I stood before you naked
my emotions on my sleeve
I told you things I'd never shared
and now I watch you leave

the scars you've left behind you
Remind me it was not a dream 
I really did those things with you
a thought that makes me scream

I hate myself for what I did
I feel like a disgrace 
I've given up what makes me, me
All because of a pretty face
