Backfire

by Erica   Nov 25, 2007


Everybody knows you
For the tricks and games you play
And if they know whats best
They'll simply stay out of your way

You earn your self esteem
Off of people you deceive
You draw your victims in
By using lies they will believe

Even I fell for it
But I only hurt myself
I look back on it now
And second guess my mental heath

I'll bet your satisfied
With all the chaos you can raise
You may think you've won
But playing games can go both ways

I know more than you think
Seeing the pain you fear to share
Its almost humorous
Is it just me, or do you care?

You don't eve know it
But I've got the tables turned
Theres no escaping now
From my betrayal you've well earned

Its quite a simple plan
One that everybody's known:
All the best heart breakers
Always fail to mend their own

    I'll bey your satisfied

    Its almost humorous
    It's*

    You don't eve know it
    even*

    Theres no escaping now
    There's*

    Its quite a simple plan
    It's*

    PROOFREAD.
    And I also suggest that heart breakers (in the last stanza) become one word for better flow.
    I think you should break up the lines further or in different places, because it doesn't flow very well in a lot of lines ... but it tells a good story c8 NICE!
