Someone Else

I don't know why I continue to do it.
Why I sneak behind his back.
I'm a fool in thinking that it'll resolve itself,
When really I've gone off the track.

I feel really dirty about the fact,
That I've kept Leo in the dark.
I've cheated with one of his brothers,
And it's with him I find that spark.

I forget how it all started,
But it's something I don't regret.
I am happier with someone else,
Yet now I'm the clan's biggest threat.

I have killed their brotherly bond,
Leo knows that he's been deceived.
As of yet, he doesn't know whom,
Just a feeling that he's conceived.

He hasn't said a word to me,
As though there is some doubt.
That his gut instinct is misguided,
And it's really him I can't live without.

But Leo's also living a lie;
Something he can't confront.
I don't know if he can accept it,
Or if he'll go on a turtle hunt.

I don't want a war to start.
I wish nobody had to be hurt.
But that is the burden of being unfaithful,
How much pain can come from a flirt.

I'm not the girl I thought I would be,
I'm not as strong as I would like.
I have failed Chung I's teachings,
I've become a person I dislike.

And yet I cannot help myself.
I feel like it's meant to be.
But will I make the same mistake again?
With happiness there's no guarantee.

With my lover, the future's uncertain.
I don't know what will happen next.
I'm always be plagued by the question:
What do I say to my ex?
