Still Want You

I haven’t known you very long

But you pulled me in somehow

Every word felt real and strong

Like you meant it here and now

You made me think we had a chance

That this could be something true

But I was dancing by myself

While you were talking to someone new

I asked for honesty, nothing more

Just something solid I could trust

But when the truth came knocking

You said the blame was on me.

You made me feel like I was crazy

For seeing what was there

You called it my deception

While you were never fair

My friend showed me the proof

Of every line you crossed

And I paid the price for loving you

While you counted what it cost

You knew how badly I was hurt

From someone before your name

I told you where it still aches

And you played the same old game

You promised you were different

You said I’d finally be safe

But you kept on playing pretend

While I was giving you my faith

I tried to walk away from you

Tried to silence what I feel

But wanting you won’t disappear

Even knowing this was never real

You made me feel like I was foolish

For believing every word

You said I was the liar

When I only wanted truth heard

My friend showed me the proof

Of how untrue you were

And still my heart keeps reaching

For someone I can’t ever be sure

I know I shouldn’t want you now

I know I should let go

I know you’re not someone

I could ever really know

But feelings don’t listen to reason

They don’t care what’s right

They stay even when I know

I should be done tonight

I’m a fool for still wanting you

After all you put me through

I’m a fool for hoping somehow

You’d finally choose what’s true

I should want someone I can have

Someone honest, someone kind

But here I am still falling

For someone who was never mine

Maybe one day I’ll stop wanting you

Maybe one day this will fade

But tonight I’m just a heart

That believed in what you played
