Tainted Love

You ripped out my heart
Then tore it up, just for fun,
Little did I know then
That the pain had just begun.
You were a bad guy
Dressed in disguise,
Why oh why
Did I ever believe your lies?
You strung me along,
For you, it was just a bit of fun,
A sick, twisted game,
Something you knew
Would cause me pain.
I believed all your corny lines,
I trusted you when nobody else did,
I stuck by you
When you were on your own,
Oh, for those good times...
But I was looking at you
Through a rose-tinted glass,
I saw the fake you
The good you,
And all your bad points
I just let pass.
Sometimes I wish
That I could have been left in my bubble,
With you,
The sweet caring,
Sharing,
You, not the one who caused hurt and trouble.
But you can't
Live a lie
Even if at times
I wished I could have been left floating by,
You took a pin
And popped my head
I finally saw you
The thing from the undead.
I couldn't believe
What I saw
What had I
Ever seen before?
You hurt me
And made me vulnerable,
But no more will I be naïve
Because that would be fatal.
I still think of you
In little wistful moments
The time I believed our love was beautiful
And from the heavens it was sent.
At least I know how to move on
And get on with my life,
I've just got to let go of you,
So see you around stranger,
Goodnight.
