DOUBLE TALK

DOUBLE TALK

Gorgeous on the outside, but evil on the inside
No one knows you like I do
I wish I knew exactly what lurks behind your mask
But I can’t peel it off

Pretty in a picture, but a leech in real life
You made a fool of me and told me what I wanted to hear
You sucked me dry then cast me aside
But I am not a desert quite yet

You can’t blame me for where you’re at
Black heart and no soul
You wanted happiness again
And claimed I gave it to you
Then you walked away from me

Tired of your double talk
This roller coaster ride threw me for a loop
Telling me you care deeply
But never trying to show it
Then you wouldn’t touch me

How can something so beautiful be so evil?
I know all that you are
I wish I could have changed your mind
But I can’t get through to you

You’re mistaking my desire to be with you for pressure
You’re running from everything all for nothing
Confused mind and twisted arm
You had what you wanted and you threw it all away
For what? No one will ever know
The why? There is no why

You left me standing alone on the corner
With a sign that reads “Stab my back, I bleed.”
