Realized Today
Today's the day I realiazed, 
 I've found self-destruction in disguise.
 Even though I knew the truth, I forced myself to believe your lies.
 But I have to admit, I'm so disappointed to say 'goodbye'.
  
 I know you were aware that I felt it was too good to be true.
 I lied to myself just to believe in you.
 I kept hangin' on, while ignoring the truth.
 && the truth is, I was so cold-heartedly used.
  
 You stood by my side,
 looked me dead in the eyes,
 && persuaded me to believe in such perfect lies.
 "I love you."
 "'I'm gonna keep you for a while."
 I bet you don't care that those words now bring tears to my eyes.
  
 I never realized how lonely I really was before you came.
 Now that 'this' is over, I finally recognize the pain.
 All in all, I guess it was worth it in a way.
 And though I know you don't care anyway,
 I just thought you should know what I realized today.
