All These Things

You shoved a knife down my throat.
I tried so hard, but couldn't speak.
You left me standing there alone in the dark.
Leaving me alone with all of my fears.

Like a child I kept coming back to you for more.
In know it was pointless, but I saw something in you.
I wish I knew what had happened to you.
You're not that sweet man I used to know.

You left lying in a cloud of doubt.
Everything I had worked so hard to get never meant a thing to you.
You promised me a world so kind.
And all I got were your choked up lies.

I wish I could make you feel the way I do.
Take away your dignity and let you look like the fool that you are.
But stupid me still cares and can't help but see that sweet person I used to love.

So I'll shove down all my fears.
So far down you want ever have to hear of them again.
And maybe you could get some clarity.
Maybe you could figure out that it was me you wanted all along.
