Beautiful Lies Poem by ESPN CHICK

I can't seem to get you off my mind
The way you dragged me in with the things you said
Just knew that you were it
But you left me here waiting on you

Left me to sit here and wonder
You kept coming back
Then you left me once again clinging onto those beautiful lies
For some reason I kept giving in to you
We went back and forth for a long time

And I acted like when you would say hello again
That things were ok and we would pick up where we left off
Still wondering why was I so blind
You had me wrapped in those lies

I was in too deep
I couldn't find my way out
Thought you were different
Thought you were the one for me
You told me we were two of a kind

Here I am with you still on my mind
It's been a few months and I know that there will never be an 'us'
Every time I turn around something reminds me of you
But what am I to do when you're the one I think of before I go to sleep

And the one I think of when I wake up
When I hear your name my heart skips a beat
Now I'm stuck here all alone without you to talk to
You're the one who told me not to give up on you
I'm sure you don't remember that but I do

I've hidden those words in my heart
I used to want you to be my superman
The one who would save me from this life
But now I'm not even sure I want you around

I'm not even sure why I'm stuck here with you on my mind
So many times I've wished that you were mine
Days go by and I wonder why
Why you told me those beautiful lies
