How could you....?

Told myself I wouldn’t fall for the same games all over again but you told your lies so sweetly that they seemed so much like a truth silly me I couldn’t tell the difference....
the truth was a bitter pill I couldn’t force down my throat and I was left with the salty tears running down my face as I had to face my reality that I was not the only one with a altered state of reality and a face wet from tears of pain.....how could I have ever thought it could be just us two?
I have grown to understand that two is the loneliest number and that it is better off to be a one so that no one can ever reach into your weakly built walls and destroy the love that grows within.....
I have grown so numb to the pain that someone can bring when they kiss you goodbye knowing that that goodbye turns into the next ones hello how could I have been so stupid to believe that when you told me I meant the world to you that I was the only world you had?
I can’t understand how I fell for the cliché I love you you told us all of the same things no detail different and we all fell victim but the only one strong enough to escape out of your web of lies and manipulation was me I crawled my way out and found the strength to stand on my own two feet with no one to help me and I ran as far away from you until you became nothing but a distant memory of something I thought I knew but I don’t think I ever really knew you I knew the person you pretended to be and God how much I miss that guy but he doesn’t exist it was all a lie....
how could I let you do that to me?
how could you do that to me?
