You saw something in me,

looking back I still can't make it out.

Something caught your eye, piqued your interest;

A trick of the light changed the course of my life.

I thought I knew what love was,

I believed in once upon a time.

You knew better than to trust the curiosity that tied us together.

A passing shadow sent us down the rabbit hole;

I got lost and you got found.

Betrayal took its place

where you had once stood.

(What's that saying about the water and the bridge?

I can never seem to remember it.)

I'm okay now,

I didn't find a map but I still found my way out.

Something caught your eye

and you sent me on a wild goose chase

for love that was never there.

It's okay,

it's not like heartbreak is supposed to be fair.

I didn't know who I was then.

A trick of the light

was all I believed it could be.

When you said I was beautiful

I didn't think I deserved the way you looked at me.

I was your everything

(for a second,

for a breath,

for the blink of an eye).

I thought you'd lost your mind,

after all, you were so interested in mine.
