In love with the role of a jilted lover,
I went around with pain
I knew how pain felt
Loving someone so deeply
Making them an idol in my life
I told my close ones how I really felt
And went around saying love was stale
I crawled around and had myself thin and restless, telling everyone they hurt me
When only one had hurt me
I feared the unexpected and feared another heart
I feared myself and what I may do or not do right
Deserted, yet carrying on
Forgetting no one had the right to take my right away
I treated myself as they had treated me
Awakening at the dawn of day,
Wearing the garment of an animal instinct
I looked as rich as I had become
Wiser and happier that never again would I hang around like death was in love with me.
