Used and Abused

I once was treated like a queen,
The sweetest boy I’d ever seen.
With roses red in bright bouquets,
He stole my heart in tender ways.

We’d laugh through nights of song and show,
Our humor matched; the joy would flow.
Each movie scene, we both would share,
I felt his heart in every stare.

I’m used, abused, and tattooed too,
My heart was broken right in two.
It really took some time to heal,
Next time I’ll make sure love is real.

We camped beneath the bright night sky,
We laughed and talked as time went by.
He cast his line, I watched it fall,
Love seemed so easy through it all.

My friends were blind just like me,
We missed the signs we should’ve seen.
They smiled and said my love was bright,
They thought that he was just so right.

I’m used, abused, and tattooed too,
My heart was broken right in two.
It really took some time to heal,
Next time I’ll make sure love is real.

But then I saw the cracks begin.
I never met one of his kin.
His stories were not adding up.
That’s when I knew I’d had enough.

Hanging out wasn’t fun no more,
My questions made him really sore.
We started drifting, hearts off track,
And there was no clear turning back.

I’m used, abused, and tattooed too,
My heart was broken right in two.
It really took some time to heal,
Next time I’ll make sure love is real.

One day a knock came at my door,
A face I’d never seen before.
A ring on her hand told the truth,
That’s how I learned he’d lied to two.

We sat and talked it through that day,
I chose to let him walk away.
He phoned and tried to get with me.
I said, we're done, just let it be!

I'm used, abused, and tattooed too,
Left with the mess I got from you.
You wore a ring I couldn’t see,
You had a wife, kept that from me.

Sometimes it’s just too good to be true,
The sweetest dreams can still fall through.
I gave my heart, I paid the cost,
But I found strength in what I lost.

I'm used, abused, and tattooed too,
Left with the mess I got from you.
You wore a ring I couldn’t see,
You had a wife, kept that from me.
I'm used, abused, and tattooed too,
Left with the mess I got from you.
You wore a ring I couldn’t see,
You had a wife, kept that from me.
You had a wife, kept that from me.
