This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Augustana chapter.

All your words were just sugar coated lies

I guess you wore a really good disguise

You hid your real identity well I must admit

Because I’m the one sitting here with my heart split

It’s amazing how one can change

From being so happy to extremely deranged

And I’m talking about me with that line

Maybe a little of you because there’s much to define

You made everything clear with the actions you took

It was my mistake to love you I must’ve overlooked

All of the negative and bad things apart of you

All I saw was good intentions if only I knew

The things about you that were always true

The reasons my friends would tell me not to pursue

In the end it was my mistake for trying

To try to change someone who was always very defying

Now I sit here trying to fix a girl who’s broken

At least now a truth I needed to know has awoken

And what that truth is and will always be acknowledged

Is to never fall in love with someone who doesn’t have any knowledge

On how to love and treat a woman right

But instead did terrible and horrible things just out of spite
