You Never Were

You never were that guy were you?
You were fooling me all along weren't you?
I fell in love with a facade 
cause you weren't my hero at all 
You played the part well didn't you
You stole my heart like a theif
and just when I though you were for keeps
you showed me your true colors
I just can't believe I let you in so deep
you never were the guy I thought you'd be
You had me thinking you would change for me
and so innocently I fell in to your trap
Just like that. 
Now I have to live with the fact
that I let a monster in
without knowing
You never were that guy
and it all came as a surprise
but the shock is starting to wear off now
and I am better off knowing the truth 
you tried to play with my head
telling me things were different
when they were just the same
you never were that guy
I should have known
you would lie
cause you did to them
you never were
