you played on my heart

treated me like a doll

someone to use in your game

you stomped on my feelings

then told me you loved me

it was my fault for believing

love shouldn’t hurt that much

love should be two ways

love shouldn’t be that hard

i knew before i met you

so how did i lose to you

somehow you made me forget

forget i was worth more

forget the final score

me 1 you nothing

i was the final trophy

not wife to be treated like

a participation prize

i revoked my award

rewarded someone who earned it more

someone who wasn’t you

who’d mount me on their mantle

proudly and respectfully

and praise me for just being alive
