You Look At Me

Marlee Clayton 1993 (des monies IA)



You look at me and
you see a mistake
I look at you? and
I see my everything
What did I do
To make you hate me
To look at me with such deceit
I have accepted complete defeat
Because the man of my dreams hates me
I have nothing left
I cannot believe that I have failed
So miserably when all I wanted was you
I will never succeed
It's meant to be
I'll forever be nothing
But a mistake to you and everyone
In this life I've come to see
Its time for me to just let go and
Fade into complete darkness
