As You Wish...

Broken Promises

I actually thought you were different

But you Managed to prove me wrong

Not until my heart was all yours

What the hell have I gone and done??

I went against my better judgement

I told you I was scared of getting hurt

But damn you were so convincing

And now that bridge is close to being burnt

I don't deserve the way you now treat me

I think you were just caught up in the chase

And when you finally caught me

I found your heart in a different place

You wanted to remain free like in the beginning

Why did you have to push my feelings for you

If you weren't serious about what you wanted to do

You are always ignoring me for no reason

Knowing that it drives me absolutely crazy!

Now my heart is finally starting to see

I'm ready to lock it up and throw away the key

I never for a second thought it would be you

To make me feel like such a fool!

And just as much rejected and used

Playing me like that was more than just cruel

I'm really starting to believe

You've been looking for a way out

To find a way to make me leave

And make the decision be all mine

By filling my mind with confusion and doubt

So I guess you got your wish

My heart, it can't take anymore

And yes, you will very much be missed

But sadly you are no longer

The man I fell in love with

So when or if you find him

Tell him to let me know

Only for him will I leave my heart open

And one more thing before I go

Please don't take too long

For now he holds my heart

Eventually someone else will come along

As much as I don't want us apart

I just can't wait forever

Knowing he may never come around

I just wish he knew how much I care...
