Right Side UP

I'm right side up
I'm upside down
I've been your fool
I've been your clown

I ate the bread of bitter taste
The love you gave in hurried haste
The lies you told, to get to me
To take my heated ecstasy

Your words like bells
rang true and clear
You told me what
I'd want to hear

You made me feel
like I was queen
the sweetest girl
You'd ever seen

But then you slipped
and told a lie
and soon your words
forced me to cry

I dried my tears
and realized
that all your words
were constant lies

I slapped myself
for being your fool
for the clown I was
you were so cruel

I'm right side up
where I should be
I've learned the score
a whole new me.
