|
Without hope, drowning in misery |
|
I couldn't help but notice you and take some sympathy |
|
So I tried to give you a helping hand, |
|
But somehow you wound up taking more than I had ever planned, and now it seems; |
|
For all the messes that I've made, |
|
I was never afraid of sharing |
|
But you took all that you could take, |
|
I guess I made the mistake of caring |
|
I know that I shouldn't be so surprised, |
|
I should've seen the malice in those puppy-dog eyes |
|
Maybe I just chose to ignore my fears, |
|
But somehow I fell victim to your crocodile tears |
|
And now I know... |
|
...why your weakness seems so odd. |
|
'Cause it's just a facade you're wearing |
|
Of all the rules that I could break, |
|
My biggest mistake was caring for you |
|
And I know you too well my friend, |
|
To let you knock me off my horse again |
|
Perhaps you don't know what you've done, |
|
Still, you know a sucker when you see one |
|
And I must be sucker number one |
|
For all the messes that I made, |
|
I was never afraid of sharing |
|
But you took all that you could take, |
|
I guess I made the mistake of caring for you |
|
For you, oh, |
|
I've been a bigger fool than I believed |
|
Am I wearing a target on my back? |
|
Or a sign that says "easily deceived"? |
|
I'm learning how to recognize the truth, |
|
Finding I'm better off without you |
