THE ROSY TINTED SPECTACLES

THE ROSY TINTED SPECTACLES

Let me dream a dream of happier times
When the sun shone and its golden glow said you were mine
It covered up my ignorance
And with my heart you did dance
You played me like a puppet doll
You raised me up to let me fall
Was so naive
The things you had me believe
A stupid fool to be taken in so easily led
My heart mortally wounded it bled
My tears they stung like barbed knives
And to this day, how many more lives?
How many more hearts will you destroy?
For to play them like a puppet toy
And all for your own self esteem and ego
I should have turned my back so long ago
But you had me believe all your cruel lies
I cried so much with stinging red and swollen eyes
Just to make you look good
Now time has past I've understood
The reason why we have to hurt so bad
The pain, the heart ache and being so sad
That old adage is so very true
"What does not destroy me makes me stronger"
You really did, but will no longer
No more the fool will it be said
No more will I be so easily led
The time has come to say
Enough I've had my fill to this day
From this moment on the rosy spectacles will come off
It's time to say enough's enough
