Contemplation

There was something crucial that we shared, don't know what went wrong
And as I sit and contemplate, writing this song
I just can't seem to find that common thread
Whatever it was that we once had
Guess now it's dead

You took another little piece of me
Tried to make it yours
But you gave me nothing back
And that's what hurts the most
And I guess I was too blind to see that I was being used
And if you think the joke's on me
It's 'cause I was confused
Believing that our friendship meant
Something to you

Better late than never I guess
Though it pains me to realize
Somehow I got myself into this mess
For putting my trust in you
And your lies!

You played your cards well until I call your bluff
When I stopped playing along you had enough
Your tone turned slightly bitter
Short and curt
'Cause you felt excluded and you felt hurt

You won't get another piece of me
To make it yours
You never gave me nothing back
And that's what hurts the most
Guess it's your turn to see just what it's like
When someone turns their back and says
Take a hike - fuck off!

Better late than never I guess
Though it pains you to realize
Somehow I got yourself into this mess
For trying to feed me your lies!

Better late than never I guess
Though it pains us to realize
Somehow we got ourselves into this mess

Better late than never I guess
Even I must pay the price
Somehow I gotta get out of this mess

Get away from you and your lies!
