Analysis of One Plus Three Equals Sixteen
Close your eyes
Take my hand
I have something to show you
Purse your lips
Shake your head
Lifted wide eyes in shock as I pull off your blindfold
Where did everything go?
No, I'm not the one who told you to leave
No, I'm not the one who cried
No, I'm not the one who left you stranded
No, I'm not the one who lied
Are all your boxes packed?
Are all our memories burned?
Are all your promises lost?
Were all our goodbyes screamed from the top of our lungs?
I thought you were the one
I thought you were my only one
I thought you were my love
I thought I was your only love
All you did was trick and deceive
And you wonder why I was always mad
All you did was lie and cheat
And you wonder why I hate you now
I hope I never see you again (Repeat)
Not even when I remeber to forget you ever existed (Repeat)
