The Devil in Disguise

You pretended to be my friend
And acted like you understand.
You won my trust and affection
Maybe I just wanted a lil attention.

You used me to get what you wanted
Now, by your face I am haunted.
I fell for your deceiving lies
And left in my head are pathetic cries.

You promised you’ll help me through
But to your promise, you didn’t stay true
And when you got what you wanted,
All you did was leave me stranded.

I struggled through the toughest time,
When all I ever wanted was to shine.
You stripped me bare of my confidence
All I want now is someone’s presence.

I’m a lonely, stranded little girl.
I walk alone in this big world.
I am haunted by my past
Yet, I’m moving on to the future fast.

Life’s a burden because of you
And yes, you’ve got the best of me too.
However, I’ll get the last laugh
When I move on to my future path.

As for you, my dear, sweet friend,
This is where I drop your hand.
You used to be an angel in my eyes
But you’re just a devil in disguise.
