Leading The World On

Leading The World On

A Poem by AlmostWhatIWant

Oh
When did things change from then
Playing pretend became an art form
Being the most fake was an accomplisment
And being a torn tired soul was in

Just because you slayed the dragon
Doesnt mean your to be given reward
The people were killed before
And you took your sweet time
That doesnt quiet even the score

Desperate times call for desperate dances
And fake romances of trading numbers in the night
Come on you know this isnt right
Your just leading the world on, with that smile of yours
Desperate people call for desperate measures
And fake numbers lead to more drama than needed
Come on you know that wasnt right
Your just leading the world on

Just leading us all on, in hatred and spite
I know your out there tonight
Just leading us on

Being the one that they came to first
Was not an invitation to make everything worse
If it was up to me, things would go a lot differently
Id show you what backhands were invented for
Its been decided that the pointlessness
Was more than we worked for

Desperate times call for desperate dances
And fake romances of trading numbers in the night
Come on you know this isnt right
Your just leading the world on, with that smile of yours
Desperate people call for desperate measures
And fake numbers lead to more drama than needed
Come on you know that wasnt right
Your just leading the world on, in hatred and spite
How do you think it will end tonight

Same as always, the usual becomes invisible
And so do you and your lies
Same as always, the usual becomes invisible
And so do you and your lies
So do you, you and your, so do you, you and your
Lies
