It was only a matter of time before I left you
I can’t believe you thought
I always had complete faith
I had my doubts about us but
I lied and told you
I was born to love you
Every time I kissed you
I knew
My heart belonged to someone else
I can’t believe you thought
I’d always loved you

This is a reverse poem. Read it forward, then backwards, line by line. You will see that the the meaning will be completely transformed.
