scream

i used to be a player, no i've been played, i could've won the jackpot, if only i'de stayed. if i'd bided my time and played my cards right, i could've beat the game, i could've won the fight. i could be with him if that bitch hadnt come, that whore called secrecy that he came to love. but i loved her too and she became my shield. she gave me a power that i could never before wield. but she killed our passion and weakend our trust, she burned at our devotion till it was nothing but dust. we tore out our hearts to honor this devil, we loved eachother, but still she meddled. dejected and doubtful we both called it quits, but at night i still remember the feel of his lips.
