Just For Me

You tricked me

I tricked me 

We tricked each other?

I felt the end coming so I held on tighter 

I think you felt it too 

You made me feel like I was the center of your universe 

But I was Earth, and you had other planets to conquer 

What if you could breathe on Mars?

Or withstand the heat of Venus?

You were an explorer 

And having options was paramount 

You spoke of commitment 

And I thought it was evidence of how much you wanted this 

But you were testing me 

Using my reluctance to justify your deceit 

I always had this nagging feeling when we were together 

I decided it was anxiety 

Distress of my own creation 

No matter what happened, I thought I had your honesty 

But you tricked me 

You hid behind my concerns 

Told me I was overreacting 

Overthinking 

If I stopped worrying for 5 seconds, everything would be fine 

I didn't know what I didn't know 

But deep down, I knew something wasn't right 

Imagine my surprise when it was all worse than I feared 

I fought myself to be with you 

But I wasn't the problem, it was you 

You tricked me
