I want to paint my face

And just pretend that I am someone else.

Sometimes I get so fed up,

I don't even wanna look at myself.

But people have problems that are

Worse than mine

I don't want you to think I'm complaining all the time.

And I hate the way you look at me

I have to say, I wish I could start over.

I am slowly falling apart,

I wish you'd walk in my shoes for a start.

And you might think its easy being me,

You just stand still, look pretty.

Sometimes I find myself shaking

In the middle of the night.

And then it hits me and I cant even believe this is my life.

But people have problems that are worse than mine,

I don't want you to think

I'm complaining all the time.

And I wish that everyone would go

And shut their mouths.

I'm not strong enough to deal with it.

But that's how it goes.

Its everything to me,

And nothing to you.

You made me feel alive,

For the first time in my life

I'm breaking down,

Cause you're nowhere around.

Never did I question,

The love I felt for you.

But still you had to hurt me,

Its like its all you know how to do.

Yet again I'm broken hearted,

I should be used to it by now.

I try to smile and pretend there's nothing wrong.

But I've been hurted by you so much,

That I've forgotten how.

Don't say you love me,

I know that you don't.

Don't tell me you'll miss me,

We both know you wont.

Don't say you need me,

I know with her your content.

Don't say youve never lied to me,

Cause you've never said what you've meant.

I love you so much

Yet I push you away.

I'm sorry I do this,

Please don't think its a game.

I want you and need you,

That's true from my heart.

But because of things I do,

What we may have will never start.

I always believed that if I didn't let you near,

That I would never be hurt because

You wouldn't mean that much.

But the fact of the matter is

I've hurt myself,

Because I pushed you so far,

I cant feel your touch.

Baby come back, I'm sorry, blame me,

I didn't want to hurt you.

I hope you can see,

I wish I could explain why I

Treated you this way.

But I cant even tell you

I need you to stay

Its my fault not your here,

I know I caused this mess.

I know you wouldn't have walked away

If I didn't treat you like the rest,

So we walk in different directions

I'll tell you I don't care.

Act like I wont miss you,

And forget you were ever there.

You got what you wanted,

So I guess now I must go,

Don't worry about me I'll be fine,

At least that's what I'll show.

Did it cross your mind that I'd miss you?

Oh wait, that's what you were counting on.

Looks like I'm wrapped around your little finger,

Congratulations, it seems as though you've won.

He loves to play his game,

So vindictive its a sin

His past contains the broken hearts

Of the girls who worshipped him.

Living his life of deception

Having hearts at his disposal

Taking girls with perfection

Giving them empty proposals.

Never in the one place too long,

Taking their happiness as he leaves,

Every girl's trust, now gone

So much heartbreak, they've received.

He waves a tangled web

With all his vicious lies

Leaving them in a tragic mess

And a wreckage that is life.
