I know you will always forgive me
No matter what I do
Even when I’m hurtful to you
Your smile try’s to shine through

I will betray you
And you will love me still
I can ignore you all day long
Even if you did nothing wrong

You’re in love with me
But I’m not in love with you
I am the boyfriend that didn’t stay
And you are my girl that got played

Okay now lets try this again…

I am the one who played you
You’re not the player btw

You sent cards and candy in the form of a heart
But I wasn’t interested from the start

So when you see me with that other guy
Don’t pretend you were not warred
I wasn’t interested I was bored

You can’t pretend to be that guy
Because you never did make me cry

I ignored you and you stayed
It was your fortune to get played
