You Lied

I'm not a toy

Not just another play thing

I'm out of breath

From chasing you all over

 

It's been like this

Don't know how to explain it

 

I'm not a toy

Not another play thing

I've seen a lot

But nothing as messed up as this

 

I can see that

That, that you lead me on

I ask now

Now, now for how long?

 

It's been a while since you smiled at me

Those ocean eyes don't have the same gleam

And when they see me

Your whole world is distant

 

I take a step forward

You take two back

I hand you a flower

You say you'd kill it

 

You ignore me

You see me on the verge of tears

You seem annoyed

But it's not even been one year

 

And I belong

With someone better than you

And I belong

Elsewhere

 

'Cause you lied

You stood me up

Made me feel like guessing

You lied

You lead me on

Had me second guessing

 

I don't know what's going on now

Is there another girl

Or have you just lost interest?

All the questions swirl

 

I deserve to be

Treated like a queen

But I guess you weren't

Brought up well enough

 

And now I see you with your music

You isolate yourself from the others

And I guess your friends don't what to do with you

You isolate yourself from the others

 

Maybe it's because I'm

Elsewhere
