Tricks

I broke down my wall

You watched it fall

I did it for you

And you knew

I thought this was true

That our love would mean something to you

I guess I was foolish

I know I blew it

From the moment I decided to trust you

You said all the right words

All the things I longed to hear

All the things that would make my pain disappear

You were being sweet in front of my face

But was laughing behind my back

Saying to yourself 'didn't know she would be easy like that'

Then you hurt me, not once but twice

But I was still at your feet

Like mice running behind cheese

I got stuck

Stoop so low my knees couldn't hold me up anymore

I keep asking myself

What did I see?

What made me so blind

When I knew what was already on your mind

I guess that's what I get for being smart but naive

I guess monkey do know how to find their trees to climb
