and yours you tried to veil
I could see down deep inside you
where deeply your ghosts dwell
but the threat didn't make me run
you wanted to be something
and you feigned it pretty well
you thought that you were someone
that hid the secrets quelled
you are the only one who is fooled
I didn't fall for partial truth
or obscurity in your song
although I danced to your music
the demons still along
shadows you blame reside
it's like a 12-step program
it's there when you are ready
prayers and candles won't complete
naively your not steady
for love to show its heart
I'm not saying it doesn't hurt
you weren't part of my game
you were honest in your verity
though it doesn't ease this pain
it wasn't easy loving you
