Deluded preconceptions
Conflict in our intentions
Misleading first impressions
I thought that you were something more
An idol in unknowing eyes
I couldn't see between the lines
Indebted to a dutiful lie
I wish I'd seen this all before
Unrealistic elation
A lovesick fool's indoctrination
With a cold manipulation
You had me hopelessly sedated in my fascination
I was shining from the top
Before you led me to the drop
A supernova to a fallen star
And now I'm down upon my knees
It was too good to be believed
And I'm ashamed at how it got this far
I know just what you really are
Your pseudo-altruistic, love-sadistic hedonistic game
I know just what you really are
So self-absorbed and it's unfortunate
That I allowed myself to be so swayed
A night to turn my woes around
A perfect time to let my guard down
A joy I thought I'd truly found
It's now so distant and ethereal
This convoluted train of thought
Entwined within the light I sought
As darkness came and through you brought
Another open heart for you to steal
Now the spark's without a flame
I doubt you'll even hear my name
And contemplate the error of your ways
You got your fix and felt at ease
And then you started to recede
With all the positive memories
I know just what you really are
So dignified to foolish eyes that couldn't see your darker side
I know just what you really are
An opportunist, always preying on the fragile state of mind
I know what you really are
I wish I'd known it from the start
I know just what you really are
Your pseudo-altruistic, love-sadistic hedonistic game
I know just what you really are
So self-absorbed and it's unfortunate you wouldn't take the blame
I know just what you really are
So dignified to foolish eyes that couldn't see your darker side
I know just what you really are
An opportunist, always preying on the fragile state of mind
I know what you really are
I wish I'd known it from the start
