Too Caught Up
I've loved a man
Like no other
Layed down my heart
At his feet
I've taken down my hair
Let it lay across his pillow
Loved him with a passion
That can never be matched
Found all I've ever wanted
In his embrace
Given him everything
That a woman can give
Stretched myself thin
Wore myself out
Comprimised my pride
Destroyed every rule
Every taught to me
Forsaken all reason
All things called right
Just to be by his side
Like a fool
I thought forever
Was our destiny
And I can guess
That the fates had a laugh
Because the time wasn't right
THe peices didn't fit
And I never really noticed
When things began to change
And, damn, I feel more broken
Then a girl should ever feel
And I guess that you don't care
I guess you never did
I was just too caught up
In what I felt
To notice
What you didn't feel
Why does it always work like this?
The one you love
Loves you not?
ANd in this case
I couldn't see
That I was just convenient
Somebody to pass the time with
Something you use
Somebody you use...
Oh, dear--
Here it comes again
The sickened feeling inside
Overwhelming my conscious
And drowning out the world
Everything has been darkness
Since I finally saw the light
And now I guess
I'm angry
Angry at myself, at you
But really
What does that matter?
You don't even care
