lyrics

If someone read your mind
I am sure they’d find
an empty space except for one
little tiny place
Where you keep your other face
And all your twisted lies
You lead me by my heart
Push and pulled apart
Telling me the things I wanted to hear
You played me for a fool
But now I see the truth
And it is time for me to walk away

I’m gonna be ok
Life will be better without you in it
I saved myself from more pain
And cut the cord

Almost blinded by your fascinating trick illusion
You almost had me fooled that you were someone worth my time
I knew you were too good to be true and I ignored my instincts
But now I see you clearly and it’s time to say goodbye to you

You have some tenacity
in your keeping up with me
the false appearances
it’s kinda flattering
That you took the time to bring
All you thought I ever wanted
It’s such a shame that your performance is all that it can be
And after the show is over all that’s left is an empty stage

I’m gonna be ok
Life will be better without you in it
Saved myself from more pain
I cut the cord before it sealed

Almost blinded by your fascinating trick illusion
You almost had me fooled that you were someone worth my time
I knew you were too good to be true and I ignored my instincts
But now I see you clearly and it’s time to say goodbye to you
