Your Rights

Why would you say I love you 
Then tell me it was a lie
Why would you laugh at our emotions
Pretend yourself to cry
You and your little summary
Of words that make no sense
You and your sacred memory
Me losing my confidence
Too many promises broken
I've never hurt this bad
Across the way I chased you
You ran and never looked back
I made this fool of me
So distant and misunderstood
I chose to fight my energy
You chose someone else for good
You stole my rights to love you.

This is written from my ex's point of  view. I did hurt her and when I got it..too late 
was what she said.

Angel

I loved you before I knew you.
How are you someone else today
When did these blue skies turn to gray
I wish I didn't see through you.

Angel....

I didn't ask the right questions
I made a lot of mistakes
Even when it caused me to ache
I never looked in your direction

Angel....

To feel the way it felt
I dream too big sometimes
No more of me to hide
It was my heart you kept

Angel....

I lie and I wonder still
Who am I right now
Why did it turn from when to how
Were you ever real

Angel....
