Why
Sometimes I wonder what it was that I saw in you,
was it your gentle smile or the simplicity in the things that you would do
you were always so calm and kind, so rare it seems today,
you didn't mind being different and didn't care what people would say
I found my self attracted to you the moment that we met,
the way you made me smile I will never forget
My friends thought it was crazy Love at first sight
and my heart led me to believe that you were Mr.right
All the illusions I made up in my mind were so far from the truth
I just wish I could have known it at the time
It wasn't easy being so close yet so far away
not knowing how you felt kept me in bondage every day
One day my prayers were answered you said you'd like to try
I thought we would be together for ever but that was just a lie
I guess I was just a toy, another game you liked to play,
I wish I had known you never planned to stay
All the empty promises you led me to believe,
How could I have been so foolish and easily desieved
I wish I had known that you wanted to be free
but your the one who stole my heart and now holds the key
How can you live knowing what you did
you didn't act like a man you acted like a kid
I guess i have come to realize love is a fairy tail
and know matter how hard I try I always seem to fail
Why do some win at love and others loose
I guess I am unlucky in the men that I choose
I think this time I will stay by my self
and take my heart and put it on the shelf
so no one can break it or try and steal the key
of the broken pieces of a heart that was once free.
So
