He took my love, he took my heart;
but it was I who didn't see the evil lurking within
behind those beautiful eyes was a darkness;
behind his smile was a sinister one;
and behind his touch was a touch of disappointment
for I was the fool
for I was used
heart, body, and soul
together as one; crushed between the hands of the admirable
