I wonder what it takes to see,

Into and through what i know is me.

How could i be so reckless,

Be so willing to be insecure and not end this?

Is it possible to act the part but not fake the smile?

Was it true that you made my life worth while?

I dont know anymore maybe i never knew,

Maybe lies are what i thought was true.

I hate to be a liar and tell you that i dont care,

But a liar still if i said that butterfly feeling was still there.

It seems i wanted you way too much,

And after a while my will just gave up.

I cant get it back or i dont know how,

But damn if i will let it make a liar of me now.

I mean every word i say the moment it is said,

But please dont let all that glory talk go straight to your head.

Feelings change and so do people and maybe i changed just enough,

To realize that i was being stupid as if having no experience didn't make things tough.

I couldn't take it anymore i promise you i'm not truthless,

But if not for everyone then maybe for me, the game of love is ruthless.

Its not like i told you what wasnt true if there's a liar here it isnt me,

I know my end and you know yours so in that there isnt a we.

There were some glitches here and there but i thought them pre-game jitters and they would just wash away,

But maybe i was wrong then too and thats why i cannot stay.

It seems sudden for you yes, i know,

But i get caught up in your words sometimes and its hard to let you go.

But when i ask myself if i can see a future the answer is clear as day,

How can i see a future with someone who cannot stay?

They tried to tell me, but in my stupidity i did not hear,

Thought maybe they were wrong and it wasn't true but i was wrong then too i fear.

So i will say good bye not as i've done previously, this time i promise its true,

So from now on no lies from either of us and no one can say i didn't love you.
