Evanescence

I knew you once
You knew me as well
Now things are all distorted
And you'd probably condemn me to hell

I don't blame you for being confused
You probably feel blinded sided and one of the used
It's not my thing to abuse good will
Though with my track record you'd believe I had the skills
To pull you under the rug
Where it's fake, warm and, snug

I'm sorry things have come to this
I miss,
Those times of bliss
Those days, with your words of encouragement on my mind
Those nights, you carefully took the time
To console me
When no one else would
Understand me
When no one else could
And I say these words in hope you'll understand
It's not my job to fool a gentleman

I was the mermaid by the sea
The siren in your heart
Now I'm sorry that everything is starting to fall apart
I'm trying my best to sweep this under the mat
Take my heart of glass and hide it in a top hat
Look the part
All the while managing to control your heart

Our bond is fading away
“It's all my fault”
I can almost hear you say
But please, believe the words that I say
I'm not capable of deception, no not in this way
Now many may draw blank expressions on their face
But you'll understand when your breathing's shallow and, you begin to question your surrounding space
Oh, it all started with a beautiful face
And darling, I’m afraid that's how it may end
