| I'm not sorry I lied about it I'm only sorry you were in the way You've gone on now And I'm the one left to pay I could claim I was lonely I could say I was cruel But the truth of the matter is You weren't the only fool (chorus) You accepted me for who I was I did not exist but in your mind If I could take it back again I'd go ahead and press rewind You had a right to be angry But no right to be unkind Believing was a part of it Decieving was my trade Retrieving my broken heart Always grieving for what we made Every night we made love In our own bed of lies And when the truth came out It shouldn't have been a suprise (chorus) I asked you to love me later But you ingnored my plea So I'm ugly, so you're mean You didn't have to hurt me I only asked to remain friends I don't recall asking for longevity So pardon me while I scream that you're no better than me (chorus) |
