Heartless Games
I promised myself I wouldn't fall for your guilt
I promised myself I wouldn't fall for your tricks
Nor give into anything else you had up your sleeve
But, I'll admit you got me good
You dug your claws in so deep
You made me feel sorry for you
You made me feel guilty for you
Made me feel heartache that you had lost everything
You made me believe you really missed me
That you really wanted to see me
But I figured you out, and so did she
Once your little game started to unfold
Once you could no longer play "Mr. Nice Guy"
I got out before you could dig your claws in deeper, and so did she
Now your stuck in your own little game
You heatless bastard
Where now no one longer cares
That you have now indeed lost everything
That you have forever lost her and I
Where now you sit there and become twice as lonley
And twice the monster you were before
Where you no longer have the claws to dig in
And no one to thank but yourself
But you know what, that's not true
Cause I do thank you
I thank you because I'm stronger now
I thank you, cause I've seen who you are, and so has she
I thank you, cause in a way,
I'm glad you were never there
So that when I was older
I would never turn out to be like you
