his way

now i know he was a sweet talker
that was obvious
and it's no secret as to how he got his way
...with me.

maybe it's just me
but i'm sick and tired of falling for that guy
just cuz he has a way with words
slick tongue
smooth moves

all sincerity lost
not genuine at all
i'm so sick of a man that just knows when the timing is right
confuse me with the words
that contradict his gestures

lips move that he cares for me
while his eyes stare past me

in a way
i hated his way
...with words.

i felt like an idiot
at the end of it
when it ended
feeling struck down
and so much of a fool
falling for those tired old words again
he knew just how to pull me back
when i was so ready to leave...

and i found a way
to let it get to me
to start playing his game again
and begin as a loser
from start to finish
the struggle was unnecessary
we both knew how it ended
he told me the story already
i had to read between the lines
of his slick tongue
smooth moves
word play

and one day
i'll be so sick of his way
...with words
i won't care to hear him tell me
the end.
