The latest craziness in my life, i suppose
It's very nice to see you
But please tell me who you are
For those killer eyes and smile
Will no longer get you very far

Everyone I talk to had
A similar tale to tell
Their own angle of the story
They spread and try to sell

But those lying, cheating stories
Of which they were so sure
Couldn't make me see you different
And love sickness couldn't cure

It seemed that since I met you
Your head was always on straight
Though hormonal, high, and broken
And so often full of hate

Through thick clouds your light
Shone with deep and hidden truth
Knocking my senses out of the park
You were a classic Baby Ruth

Yes, I know I went there
But what did you expect
I'm still a little too dizzy to
Share my intellect

You can hear my meter changing now
I've got syllables to spare
But to put bounds on such taunting notions
Is something I couldn't bare

On, though, with my thoughts as
I'm questioning what went wrong
I'm seeing that you're different now
But what took me so long?

Something shifted within you
But I'm not sure what it was
For now me, our time, and memories
In your head are just a fuzz

"I can't see it, but I can feel it"
The words I thought you meant to me
I know now that you didn't
But that still won't set me free

Then I saw you standing there
And I think you saw me too
Because, for a moment, we connected
And it was clear we weren't through

It was the danger that I faced
As I stood there in the wind
For it was then that I realized
You'd be around each and every bend

Is it us or what we stood for
On to which I've grasped so tightly
And is it the drugs, or do you care
Because your taking this awful lightly

It's a vile little battle
That someone in the end will win
Will love come out on top?
Or will Satan suck you in?
