Casanova

You better take it from me
That boy is like a disease
You’re running, you’re trying, you’re trying to hide
And you’re wondering why you can’t get free

He’s like a curse, he’s like a drug
You get addicted to his love
You wanna get out but he’s holding you down
‘Cause you can’t live without one more touch

He’s a good time cowboy casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
Looks like a cool drink of water
But he’s candy-coated misery

He’s the devil in disguise
A snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don’t want to fight
You better run for your life

I see that look on your face
You ain’t hearing what I say
So I’ll say it again
‘Cause I've been where you been
And I know how it ends
You can’t get away

Don’t even look in his eyes
He’ll tell you nothing but lies
And you wanna believe
But you won’t be deceived
If you listen to me
And take my advice

Run run away
Don’t let him mess with your mind
He’ll tell you anything you want to hear
He’ll break your heart
It’s just a matter of time

Yup, it's shocking how love can pull a veil over your eyes and make you blind to things that were so obvious to other people, it was like missing a green and pink neon sign.

No, I'm not heartbroken. Feeling used and cheated, definitely. But I'm only glad that he's out of my life now, at long last. I see now why I couldn't get free before, why he refused to leave. The things he said to make me stay.

Men. I can't imagine, if it were me, if I saw someone totally hot, and I went up to introduce myself with the intention of fooling around. I can't imagine convincing someone to stay while my heart was snickering at the lies. Men can be so cruel.

I was waist deep in his muck. I'm glad I didn't let myself drown in it. Glad I escaped before it was too late and my heart fell to pieces.

I've got to be more careful.
