Are you standing there waiting for me to change my mind?

My eyes are open now

Did you think I was going to leave him for you?

Did you think you could continue to treat me the way you do?

Always sneaking around

How long did you think I could keep this up

Playing the game of cat and mouse

Making sure you were home alone

Making sure the neighbors did not see

Making sure you never answered the phone when she called

Did you think I did not hurt?

Did you think I did not bleed?

I am not sure when my feeling changed from lust to love

I am not sure when I lost touch with reality

But I must wake up from this dream

All those nights when I turned to you

Hoping and wishing you could be the one who could set me free

Only to find out I am not yours to set free

I realize this now while i sit and confront my emotions

I have made a big mistake

I let you in

I let you take control of my mind and soul

But I have opened my eyes

And i'm holding my head up high

For I have gained my self respect back
