Bangles

Bangles turned into shackles,

Before I knew it

I was the prisoner to my pain.

Couldn't hide my guilt

Couldn't hide my shame

All I knew was love

But all you played was games.

How could I not see

How did I not know

That all you needed

was someone to control.

Charmed your way through it

Little before I knew it

I was the target of your aim.

Red becomes your glory,

Red becomes my pain.

From start to finish

All I could see

was the red rushing through my veins.

I hope it was all worth it

For your 15 minutes of fame

Hope you thought I deserved

the shit you put me through

in your vain.
