A boy I used to know

by CareBear   Aug 29, 2009


I know your type all too well
You've got your lines perfected
And you look just right
All that beauty, under one spotlight

You were once a person I could love
The boy every girl drempt of
Where did he go? Who are you now?
My best friend gone, a stranger replaced

Your just another musician
Another boy with too much fame
Yet not enough to satisfy
A different girl every other night

And I let you in, knowing these games
I told my heart not to fall for you
But tonight it whispers your name
All I see if your face and the way it felt

To be locked in your embrace
But I'm just a name under your belt
Pointless nights, nothing heart-felt
And it's only now I can describe you

How you crawled under my skin
Infected my heart, scarring it beyond
Any recognition, so who am I now?
And why did I crave your attention?

How can I feel loved,
When you only want one thing?
How can I let myself give you
That exact one thing...

I still hope there's some of the old you
Buried under this facade Of popularity and fame
A boy I used to know so well,
One that wouldn't hurt me the way you will

Still I let you come back, over and over
