Love and Loved

I lied and lied
A thousand times
For years and years
I thought it was mine
Born to love and be loved
I thought that's how it's like
Now, I am lonely and misunderstood
Thrown off and shoved aside.

Was I wanted? If I was
Why'd you let me go?
Let me slip me into the darkness
You told me, you'd hold
On to me, till the end of time
For years and years
I thought it was mine
Born to love and be loved
I thought that's how it's like.

I did everything I could
To prove a point
Fought and lied, killed and died
I did what I thought was right
Now, I am lonely and misunderstood
Thrown off and shoved aside.

This pain kills me slow
I won't let it show
My dried tears I'd conceal with
A smirk, I will deal
My mischief, tricks and illusion
Will carve me a way, into the stone
The season changes and so will my heart
Before it breaks apart, this time,
I'd know that it's facade
For years and years,
I was wrong when I said
Born to love and be loved.
