lyrics

A symbol of everything I hate
And for your apologies, it's way too late
Passed around like a dirty needle
You're given to people
Excuses feeble

While I was in agony you had your fun
Thought I was happy, how could I fall so far
I made a mistake

You give yourself out like an invitation
A puppet lust, give in to temptation
Given to greed every single way
In every single bed you lay

A game we play in which she cheated
He thought he lost, so he retreated
She was later exposed
From his mind, she was disposed

"Give me happiness, I'll give you some"
I gave it to you but I was given none
I made a mistake

And as I tried to warn my best friend
That he was nothing but a means to an end
Wasted hours and golden trust
On a symbol of hate
A puppet of lust
