Wrong

It was so nice at first
That lie-
A lie that comforted me
When I needed to believe it

But then I thought I was okay
And I could stop needing
So the deception fell away
And then I realized

I realized
You're not as good as I thought
And I made this choice myself
And now I'm alone

You don't even have the integrity
To tell me the truth now
But you run the other way
When I'm the one who's hurt

Now I have to find the strength
You took from me
To fight this new battle
You've given me.
