I thought I was your only one
One and only
Till the end of time
I thought you’d hold me
Have only
Eyes for me
I remember you’d told me
You hadn’t felt like this before
About anybody
Else.
I remember you telling me
The moment you’d seen me
It was like love at first sight
You’d told me you’d never seen
Anything as beautiful as me
In your whole life
That no one would
Come close to me
In your heart
I thought I’d be your only one
The Rachel to your Ross
That’s what you called us
That’s what you expected us to be
To end up like them
No one else measuring up
Why propose
Were you mocking me?
Didn’t do it cause you were in love with me
Wanting to marry me because you couldn’t
Imagine a life without me
No
Imagine a life with anyone else
Now you can
You can now
Whichever way round
It’s still the same
I’m no longer your world
The world you claimed I would be
Always
I believed and trusted
Almost fell
Head over heels
Into your lies
Your truth
That whoever was after me
Would never match up to me
I thought getting me was your greatest achievement
Thought you bypassed her for me
Not that you were only scared of
Loving her instead
Instead of me
Scared of her being
Your one
The one you claimed I had been
And would always be
Since the moment you laid eyes on me
Now I see
I bought into empty promises
Promises which you promised were promises
Promises you’d never break
If you truly love someone
The way you told me you loved me
Unconditionally
Uncontrollably
In love with me
You’d never be able
To get over me
But now you have
Proving it was all lies
Illusions you projected onto me
You watched me eat up
All the words you were feeding me
Watching
Not realising it was these words
Which were poisoning me
You were no good for me
Yet you made me believe you were
Sold me a dream that you was perfect for me
But you weren’t
If you were perfect
We’d be perfect
Together
You wouldn’t ever have stopped chasing
Chasing me
I hope you’re happy
I hope one day you’ll see
A promise is a comfort to a fool
Thanks for fooling me
