A Cautionary Tale

Oh heavens hear my story.

A cautionary tale of how I came to be loved and how it came to fail.

A first time for lovers.

A first time in agony.

The truths you will uncover will knock you on your knees.

I gave it too much. I gave myself up.

I lost sight of all my dignity.

I've always been smart.

My chameleon heart took your draining personality and gave it to me. I wanted to please you.

This performance of a lifetime.

My heart to you handed.

You took it for granted and made me the villain all along.

I struggled through the winter.

Found cheat codes to your soul.

Was born to be a giver.

Destined to pay the toll.

I gave it too much. I gave myself up.

I lost sight of all my dignity.

I've always been smart.

My chameleon heart took your draining personality and gave it to me. I wanted to please you.

This performance of a lifetime.

My heart to you handed.

You took it for granted and made me the villain.

Oh, inside you there's a guiltless child who never saw his mother smile.

A boy who had no sense of home believes he's better off alone.

Who coils up in jealousy to mask his insecurities.

And I can't fix you. God, I tried. The hourglass

I shattered just in time.

I gave it too much. I gave myself up.

I lost sight of all my dignity.

One more lover fails.

Cautionary tales continue to happen to me.
