A Real Man

You took away my smile my laughter and my joy.
I guess that's to be expected when you fall hard for a boy.

You tried to bring me down I lost myself respect.
But loving someone like you what more could I expect?

I should have seen the signs that were telling me what I refused to see.
Your a boy in a man's body that wasn't good enough for me.

You liked to put me down and say I was lucky to be with you.
That no one else would want me but I know now it's not true.

You cheated and you lied but I just couldn't walk away.
I was starting to believe in the hurtful things you'd say.

I know now why you did it you didn't want me to see.
That I deserved much more then what you could ever give to me.

Until today I replayed everything we've been through in my mind.
Hoping for the answers that seemed so hard to find.

I never understood why you couldn't even try.
And I never understood why you'd cheat and lie.

I never understood the things you do and say.
and I never understood why you treated me that way.

But as I look back on things now I finally understand.
The difference between loving you and loving a real man.
