once upon a time

i was full of hatred

couldn't dare to feel love

(simpler times. little lies)

.

i wore a suit of armor

much like those

medieval knights

(made of ice, can't afford to be nice)

.

never once did i think

you'd be the one to find a chink

and extort it

(but then you left me to report a theft)

.

people laughed

hooted and hollared

called me names, left me bothered

('cause falling for you wasn't part of the plan)

.

but isn't that just like me?

to be caught up in my misery

and not realize the truth?

(i fell for a man who could barely hold my hand)

.

see, you know me

like i know you

except now you jump at every touch

(you're insane mister and i still am here)

as I finished this the tv downstairs blared out "our killer planned this" and i think this is kind of applicable
