I'm not the one

Carefree evenings,

intimate smiles,

they're all a façade,

I think I'll leave it awhile.

Hold my hand,

kiss my lips,

hold me close,

for a minute.

Say that you love me,

do you really?

I believe you,

I'm a fool. I'm a fool.

Stay away,

but stay close,

I love you,

is a hoax.

You come back,

then run away,

your friends are close,

they always stay.

Until now,

my night of horror,

not my fault,

you drank in my sorrow.

Down the street,

I fall to the ground,

headlights flash,

now I'm down.

No way out,

no way back,

never the same,

never no shame.

I'll forget,

I'll change,

I'm not the one,

I'm not strange.
