I wanted him so

I wouldn’t let go

It wasn’t love

It wasn’t lust

I had to win

You weren’t going to take him from me

 

You played dirty

So I couldn’t play fair

I had time on my side

Always in his head even when I wasn’t there

You cried and I smiled

Thought it’d do you good to taste

the same pain for a while

I played karmas role

You deserved it for breaking up my happy home

Or so I hoped

Truth be told

I knew it was ending awhile ago

 

You wanted him so

You wouldn’t let go

It was love

It was lust

But I had to win

You weren’t going to take him from me

He’s alone

And you’re not in love

You try so hard

But it’s not the same

He’s the only one who made you feel that way

But you smile and it works for a while

And late nights he’s not sure if he should dial

Thinking you are in a better place

Your face is still the last thing he sees before bed

 

But

I wanted him so

I wouldn’t let go

It wasn’t love

It wasn’t lust

You didn’t take him from me

But it was with you that he was meant to be
