Granted, we had some fun times
through the weeks we spent together
Laughing at jokes that didn't make sense
and making up stories to tell
But I guess I wasn't enough for you
Not enough to hold on to
Just something you could throw away
when the expiration date came around
I thought that maybe you loved me,
and every day I feel stupid for believing
the lies you kept on spewing out
which were exactly what I wanted to hear
But everything happens for a reason
although hard sometimes to find out what it is
I'll move on without you in my life
and I'll be better than I've ever been
without you
Sometimes, though, I wish things
could have been different
That your feelings for me were sincere
because I'd rather have known you from a distance
where your mask was still believable
than realize that you were not for real
Mistakes that we learn from
can still come back to haunt us;
Monsters in the dark sneaking back
to slash us once more across our chests
Then the white light floods my vision
and the monster melts away, revealing your face
with soft eyes that once gave me hope,
but now can only be seen in my nightmares
I thought my life was perfect
When you promised me eternal love
not knowing that to you,
forever was something temporary
