You were able to take the money when it benefitted you most

The time was easy to pass cause one day I’d be a ghost

You took the years that could have meant more to someone who really cared

All the while your excuse was you were scared

You broke me down in ways unknown to most

Placing blame on me to help justify your lack of remorse

Pulling strings like a puppet master knowing I’ll always be close

Reaching out like a convenience when it suits you the most

Well wishes at best but nothing from the heart

Who is the real monster when you knew everything from the start

The price we pay for loving is always a broken heart
