The Ugly Truth

You see love, love blinds the truth

Because if I didn't love you

I would've saw the real you !

But see my heart was at build a man

And in my mind I built you 

See that's why it was so hard to understand 

How that wasn't the real you

I used your body as a vessel 

of the man I wanted you to be

My soul got so in tangled 

with the imaginary 

I got lost in the sauce

Did whatever it took, no matter the cost 

And somehow and some way 

I caught a glimpse

of a man I didn't recognize

Now I'm shocked, now I'm surprised

MAN WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

So I walked away but you know I had to look back

And caught a reflection

of a man I once knew

I shook my head in disbelief 

and tried to rearrange my thoughts 

because this couldn't be 

oh man how could I be so lost

So I sat back

and watched your crooked smile

and listened to the lies 

you said so proud

And realized that you,

We're everything that they said you we're

And ME,

well i was just an innocent fool

Fell victim to my own lies, 

That even I thought were true

Yeah now I'm mad and I'm hurt 

But hell I can't blame you

Cause in my mind 

I created an image of you

That was tainted 

And when the real you began to show up

I couldn't tame it

And damn I hated it

I hated the real you

Now I'm mad at myself 

For what I thought that I knew

So now I'm forced to walk away

And spit some truth 

Because I can't seem to swallow the fact

That I never really knew you
