Self-satisfied smile

It was never your fault,
I could never get it right.
(Right?)
I was always in the wrong,
Always started the fights.
(Fight!)
But my eyes are now wide open,
Baby now that I've see light
(I see it all now!)
so just pack your things and go
and get out of my sight.

(Chorus)
Because I know the truth now
Your words were just lies
(lies!)
You may of have me fooled once
But it’s written in your eyes
(lies!)
I can see it on your face now
It’s that look I despise
(cant stand you!)
and your sanctimonious, saccharin sweet
Self-satisfied smile

(Middle 8 break)

You said that you loved me
But it was all about control
(Control!)
I thought I was goin' Crazy
Your love took its toll
(I'm bleedin')
But now I'm standing on my own feet
I won’t be your fool
(You're leavin')
Gonna get my life back Baby
So you better go

(Chorus)
Because I know the truth now
Your words were just lies
(lies!)
You may of have me fooled once
But it’s written in your eyes
(lies!)
I can see it on your face now
It’s that look I despise
(cant stand you!)
and your sanctimonious, saccharin sweet
Self-satisfied smile

About this poem:
This is a song rather than a straight poem.
(think Loud an Heavy), Screaming guitars and a bass line you can feel in your bones
Not to everyone's tastes I know. But I would like to know what you think about it . Good or Bad,
If there are any Metalheads out there who would like to put some Music to it, PM me
