I'll admit; all that time I was a fool
To think that I was more than a tool
Since you left and wanted out
I realized what you're all about

You think you can leave without a trace
You think your mistakes will just erase
Well here's a news flash for you boy
Unlike your other girls, I'm not a toy

The cheap lines and fake smiles
Your lies could go on and on for miles
But I'm not damaged by your twisted ways
'Cause they'll catch up to you in future days

Yesterday I cried
Because in you I did confide
Today I feel numb
Can't believe I was so dumb

But I don't want your sorry
So you don't have to worry
Because I promise that tomorrow
I'll be over you and have no sorrow
