Replacement
Except maybe the one before
I’m the best you’ve ever had
And I can see the hunger in your eyes
You’re dying for a taste of poison,
A sweet love that kills.
Do you think you’ll get that from her?
It’s just a school boy crush
That was the rumor I heard
Straight from the lips of hell.
But I long ago learned you speak in lies
Nothing turned into something
And love burned to ashes
Before I could open my eyes.
Even through my blinded haze
I could see what everyone else knew
Too long I pretended, turned away
And forced myself to believe.
So you got what you wanted
Now you get what you deserve.
But before you go I need to know
Does she see through every ‘baby’
Does she notice you watching me
When you’re fooling her.
She walks in like she owns the place
Shoot’s me a gloaters’ smirk
Like I want what she has
Well why would I want a lie?
‘I love you’? Turns out I’m a liar too.[/font]
