So Much For Happy Ending

Santajah Douglass

All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Thanks for acting like you cared
Making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all 
And thanks for watching as I fall 
Letting me know we were done

It's so hard to accept 
That you were everything I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it, couldn't see
All the memories so close to me
Literally fading away, disappearing
I'm so glad you enjoyed pretending
So much for a happy ending 

We had dreams, we had plans
But now it's all slipping through my hands
I thought we were in it together 
But it seems you were just a pretender 
Pretending to love me, to care
While masking the truth that was never there

I remember the way you looked at me
With a smile that seemed so loving and free
But now I see through the facade
Your eyes were empty, your words a charade
I gave you my heart, my soul
But you just played your role
Pretending to be my everything
While secretly planning our undoing 

I thought we were building something real
But now I see it was all just a steal
You took my trust, my love
And left me here, broken and alone
I wish I could rewind time
Go back to when you were still mine
But the truth is clear to see
We were never meant to be 

So thank you for pretending
For making me believe in a happy ending
I may be hurt, I may be bruised
But I'll move on, I'll refuse
To let your deception define me
I'll rise above, I'll break free
From the chains of your lies
I'll find my true happy ending, no more goodbyes 

All this time you were pretending 
But now I see through the pretending 
I'll find my own happiness
And leave behind this mess 
Goodbye to the past, to the pain
I'll start anew, I'll find my own lane 
Thank you for pretending, for the lessons learned 
But now it's my turn, my time to burn 
Brighter than before, stronger than ever 
But until that day comes I will always hears these words echo in my head so much for happy endings
