Corruption

I hate that things aren't the way they were
And I hate that I can't fix it

You would call
I'd answer
We'd talk forever
About things that didn't matter

You were the only one I could trust
That's why I thought it was love
We were inseparable
No body could tell us 

I introduce you to new people
And you flake and fade away
It was them or me
And you choose them
I shoulda known you wanted her

We grew apart
I'm my gonna lie 
I missed us 
All the fun we had
When we were together

When you came back
I acted like you didn't exist
But you became harder and harder to resist
So I took back what was rightfully mine
Now let me be the Bonnie to your Clyde

I was head over hills 
Man I was sprung
But you just couldn't forgive me
For the things that I've done

But at least I didn't lie
You don't know how many nights
I layed down and cried
With no one to to be there 
To say "baby girl forget him
He's not worth it, you will be alright"

Instead I wipped my own tears 
And kept my head up
It always gets worse before it gets better

As kids we were told stay away form drugs
Heroine, cocaine, meth
But no one mentioned that love was a drug
And could also cause death

I feel the bitter pain in your narrative. Your write is most effectively sad!!
