Swindler

I've been mistaken
You swindled once again
Now there's no question
I was wrong
And now I stand alone
Just a dent in your throne
Your true colors shown
You don't belong
(chorus)
And now I'm lost
And now I run from you
And now I see just how I bleed from you
And all the lies, all the lies
How could I let you in
But now it's clear, I went along for the ride
Hey Mr. Merry Men
I know you'll come again
'till you find just what you're looking for
If I'm you little lamb
Oh would you leave again
Oh no, I bet you'd stay for more
(chorus)
And now I'm findin' out that you are nothin' 'bout
What I thought you were
And now I understand just how you work your plan
First you're warm and then you just burn
(chorus)
And now I make my way through another day
I guess I know beter now
And you'll drop another line on someone else's time
But in my you still resound
(chorus)
