Liz you asked me, why him and I don't talk,
Why is it that I never look back.
You asked me what went wrong, why'd he paint me black.
And I told you "Liz you would never understand what we had,
He made me see all colours of life, he was there when I was sad."
Now I look back and wonder why I didn't realise,
He would soon be the reason behind my muffled cries.
It was all in his honest eyes and sweet lies,
In which I lost my reality, but at what price?
I looked at him with my rose coloured glasses on,
Whenever he looked back, my worries were gone.
But slowly it didn't matter
Because the glass started to shatter.
What I saw with time was his words sugar sweet turn sour as lime.
He had now left me wondering what were my crimes.
Liz now I look at it and see we were both thieves.
I stole his misery and then saw him glowing.
He stole my happiness without me knowing.
Still I couldn't help but fall for him a hundredth time, since I knew his love was as deep as mine.
It could fight all sirens and snakes,
it would cross all oceans and lakes.
Liz his love was pure and that is what I adored.
I couldn't help but forgive, and all the pain I just ignored.
It was unfortunate that his love wasn't for me.
The girl of his dreams and now reality wasn't me.
I am not jealous of her Liz, I just cry at my own misery.
Now the damage is done and I wonder if I can find another he.
For now I just like to see him happy.
For all his accomplishments you'll see me clapping.
I am proud of the man I once loved.
And believe me Liz when I tell you that
he'll forever be a beauty for me to admire.
And now I wonder how I explain to you all that for which he is ashamed.
How he gave me pain for which no one is really to be blamed.
He tore my heart terribly and for years he made me burn,
He knows no care would ever suffice, no act, no words would be enough ice.
And to answer your question my dear friend,
I love myself enough to never look back
And he loved her enough to paint me black.
And just like trees shed leaves and grow new ones.
I was the unfortunate shedding leaf and what grew was his new love.
