Long were the nights when the days once revolved around you. My sister accused me of losing my mind, but I swore I was fine. You paint me a blue sky, then go back and turn it to rain. I lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules every day. Wondering which version of you I might get on msn tonight... well I stopped answering, and this song is to let you know why. I see it all now that you’re gone. Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with? The girl in the dress cried the whole way home...I should've known.
Well maybe it’s me and my blind optimism to blame, or maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away. You’ll add my name to your long list of traitors who don’t understand, and I’ll look back in regret how I ignored when they said run as fast as you can. I see it all now, it was wrong. Don’t you think sixteen's too young to be played by your dark,  twisted games, when I loved you so? I should've known. 
You are an expert at keeping lines blurry, and never impressed by me acing your tests. All the girls that you run dry have tired, lifeless eyes, cause you burned them out. But I took your matches before fire could catch me, so don’t look now. I’m shining like fireworks, over your sad empty town.
