You Fell For Someone Else
You Fell for Someone Else
You look at me
I turn away
We grow farther apart
With each coming day
I know you wouldn’t love me
If only you knew
This is only a small excuse though
For what I’m about to do
This mask I wear is cracking
The truth’s getting harder to hold
Sooner or later you’ll figure out
I never was the perfect mold
I can’t begin to look
Into your pale blue eyes
For fear that in the end you’ll find
Who and what I really am inside
Don’t you look into my eyes
Let me protect you from what you’ll see
I’m not the person you fell in love with
I’m not how I present myself to be
I’m doing you a favor
Saving you the disgust
I’m protecting myself from that look
When women realize it was only lust
You fell for a different person
Thinking that it was me
I can’t stand any more pain
So for now I’ll just walk away and leave…
