Once was a man with a silver tongue,
brought her to her knees and her guard came undone.

He thought he was clever, thought he could play..
For her heart was his game to manipulate and sway.

But his deceit caught up with him one day,
she saw through his facade,
his lies and that very same play.

Broken-hearted, she knew she had to leave him behind, to heal and mend, to leave him blind.

For he lost her, the one who loved him for him.
She learned a long hard lesson that love is a game you can't always win.
