I Said I Was Done With You (But This Time I Mean It)

We could have been a modern Romeo and Juliet
But you destroyed this chance, I hope you live with this regret
Your flower was so sweet but attracted too many bees
A swarm came through long before you ever met me
Sorry that I didn't help you when you were down and hurt
Didn't recognize you without his hand up your skirt
Your brown eyes once gave me an image of happiness
Peace of mind combined with complete bliss but your eyes lie in askew sky

I tried to turn a sinner into a saint
I thought your flaws could be something great
Blinded by, oh a loving curse
You meant so much, and that's what really hurts
Your smile used to captivate but your charm don't work anymore
Your effects are useless
Smoke and mirrors are all gone
You're a stunning
You're a beautiful
Phantasmagoric con

I know I said I was done with you
I know I said I was done with you before
I said I was
Done with you but this time I got the reasons to mean it

You should know you made your own tragedies
Missing the irony of your hypocrisy
You did the same things on which you'd been victimized
And pushed me away when I was on your side
Everything you kept inside, so hard to hide
The pain that ripped through every ounce of your pride
And now all these things you're saying sound so absurd
When your defenses kick in just to twist my words
I base what I say on what I've seen, felt, and heard

I tried to turn a sinner into a saint
I thought your flaws could be something great
Blinded by, oh a loving curse
You meant so much, and that's what really hurts
Your smile used to captivate but your charm don't work anymore
Your effects are useless
Smoke and mirrors are all gone
You're a stunning
You're a beautiful
A fucking pitiful con

I know I said I was done with you
I know I said I was done with you before
I said I was
Done with you but this time I got the reasons to mean it

Don't look at me and pretend not to know how I feel
Cuz I know you read me a long time ago
It's as plain as the look on your face
When you pretend to care
Well, now it don't matter
And you don't matter to me anymore
I won't just sit here and be a placeholder anymore
Pausing my life while you look for something else anymore
You're just a shadow in the corner of my mind
My mind
My mind

One! Two! Three! Four!
I know I said I was done with you
I know I said I was done with you before
I said I was done with you but this time I got all the reasons in the world to mean it

I gotta come clean and say I didn't want to believe
All the words I'd heard about you out there on the streets
Using me like all those boys time and time before
Manipulating my emotions to squeeze me for more
So stupid was I to think I'd reel you in
Call me when you ditch your pack of lies and all your sins
But hey no chance, no new slants, you're just back seat romance
