Played Me

I loved you and you played me
Tried to move on, tried not to see
All the promises we made
Turned to words that slowly fade

I scroll through all your messages
Watch you live what we began
Do you carry any bandages
For the damage in my hands?

I said you were in the past
Said I moved on fast
But those were lies I told myself
To dodge the shattered glass

Are you happy now?
Without me in your eyes
Are you happy now?
While I’m still in disguise

You said “I love you” every day
Now it sounds like a masquerade
Are you happy now?
With the mess you made

Pain is all you seem to bring
My best friend says, “Time heals everything”
So why are you still on my mind?
Why does healing take its time?

I’ve been dreaming about you
Don’t know if it’s sweet or cruel
What else am I supposed to do
When loving you was all I knew?

I don’t understand
How you’re fine without my hand

Are you happy now?
Without me in your eyes
Are you happy now?
While I’m barely getting by

You said forever wouldn’t change
Now I’m the one who feels deranged
Are you happy now?
Or just good at walking away?

(emotional lift)
I thought it was us three
You, our love, and me
Now it’s just you and your peace
And me begging for release

(bigger)
Are you happy now?
Say it to my face
Are you happy now?
With someone in my place

You played your part so well
Left me here in living hell
Are you happy now?
‘Cause I’m learning not to care

(quieter)
Or at least I’m trying to
