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
