You have built yourself up so tall
we gather around and we watch you fall
along with you, these dreams are shattered
as if our feelings didn't even matter
and what would make you act as this
why would you manipulate and twist
everything, I guess that you
are too good to be true
You gained my trust and took advantage
it looked as though you were right
it was all a fantasy
I was deceived
Honesty was never questions
as suspicions were never mentioned
but now you can't face the truth
after I have gathered the proof
and you can't even come clean
you can't let yourself be seen
and now this is just the start
a new beginning, a change of heart
I let my guard down
you made a fool of me
