I thought it was love

I think it was me

That brought all the pain

You always went through

I thought I was an imposter

In your life,

I never knew I was forgetting something

That you were the one

Who came and stole

That selfish thing we all call heart

Yet, in the wreckage of our misunderstanding

I see the echoes of my own folly

You weren't the thief; I was the one pretending

To guard a heart that needed no jolly

In the mirror of truth, I find my reflection

A silhouette of misguided affection

It wasn't you who played a part

In this unraveling of our shared heart

Now I trace back our steps in regret

Realizing too late, a love unmet

It's not you, but me who bears the blame

For the tears, for the heart's burning flame.
