Is This What You Wanted?

by Carlee Ann   Apr 1, 2005


I look over at you
And you glance back at me
Smiling, looking with your eyes
But you don't really see

Everyday you change a little
A slow metamorphosis
You aren't even you anymore
I want to know what caused this

I don't know you any longer
This is more than I can take
It's like the past was a dream
And I am suddenly awake

You turn away from yourself
I don't know which one is you
Is the you I loved real?
Or is this new personality more true?

I want you back
Please stop all the pretending
Maybe you can tell me the truth
While my heart is mending

I feel like a rag
Used to get rid of your dirt
Only when you need an ego-boost
Why would you cause me so much hurt?

Were you set out to break me?
Is that what felt so good?
To see the pain in my eyes
Did you deceive all that you could?

Is this what you wanted?
For me to end up in tears?
Well, congratulations, you've met your goal
And confirmed all my worst fears

    car... i'm so sorry. can i start over? please, carlee... let me know if you'll forgive me, and i'll try to stop myself from changing. i didnt mean to do this to you, i've just been a little grumpy lately. i need some sleep and i need to think about stuff, but... what i need most is to know that i still have you as a friend... do i know that carlee? i love you, either way.
