I lied

I lied

A Poem by Laureeann

You were never the prince I saw

I was never the princess you wanted

All our memories are haunted

By that bitter goodbye

I know you never meant to make me cry

Maybe just maybe you could have loved me

For me

But I was spitting like a lady

Baby I know I’m crazy

It’s what I chose

Even if that means I’m losing you

Flip flops, bare feet

Yeah they got the best of me

Sorry I’m not that lady you wanted

It’s the best part of me that’s been haunting you

Because I am who I am

Not who you want me to be

I don’t know how you can’t see

That I’m gonna dance in the rain

Laugh around the pain

Because I am who I am

And there’s no making me

Because baby you couldn’t break me if you tried

Because honey here’s a secret for you

I lied

Yes I lied…

There were all those happy pictures

Those faded memories

Taking us back around this corner

Can’t you see what’s happening to me

You could have loved me

For me

But I was spitting like a lady

Baby I know I’m crazy

It’s what I chose

Even if that means I’m losing you

Flip flops, bare feet

Yeah they got the best of me

Sorry I’m not that lady you wanted

It’s the best part of me that’s been haunting you

Because I am who I am

Not who you want me to be

I don’t know how you can’t see

That I’m gonna dance in the rain

Laugh around the pain

Because I am who I am

And there’s no making me

Because baby you couldn’t break me if you tried

Because honey here’s a secret for you

I lied

Yes I lied…

You laugh as you down at me

That bitter frown clouding your face

To me it seemed so out of place but now I see

You never really wanted me

You could have loved me

For me

But I was spitting like a lady

Baby I know I’m crazy

It’s what I chose

Even if that means I’m losing you

Flip flops, bare feet

Yeah they got the best of me

Sorry I’m not that lady you wanted

It’s the best part of me that’s been haunting you

Because I am who I am

Not who you want me to be

I don’t know how you can’t see

That I’m gonna dance in the rain

Laugh around the pain

Because I am who I am

And there’s no making me

Because baby you couldn’t break me if you tried

Because honey here’s a secret for you

I lied

Yes I lied…

All those early morning walks

All those late night talks

Didn’t mean a thing

To you this was all a game

Which is too bad

You could have loved me

For me

But I was spitting like a lady

Baby I know I’m crazy

It’s what I chose

Even if that means I’m losing you

Flip flops, bare feet

Yeah they got the best of me

Sorry I’m not that lady you wanted

It’s the best part of me that’s been haunting you

Because I am who I am

Not who you want me to be

I don’t know how you can’t see

That I’m gonna dance in the rain

Laugh around the pain

Because I am who I am

And there’s no making me

Because baby you couldn’t break me if you tried

Because honey here’s a secret for you

I lied

Yes I lied…
