you played me for a fool

you played me for a fool
used my feelings as the tool
to open my heart.
Once my heart was overflowing,
once my love was ever growing,
you showed me your true colors.

like a surgeon you took your time,
dissected every corner of my mind,
till I was lost in emotion.
my love was all a game to you,
but my feelings were true,
and now I'm paying the price
for falling so deeply in love with you.

they say what goes around
will eventually come around,
understand.
the unending pain I feel,
will soon be over and I'll heal.
understand.
but bad Karma will follow you
everywhere you go.


you played me for a fool,
used my feelings as the tool
to open my heart.
Deceiver.
