It started years ago.
You talked my ear off.
But you listened just the same.
They’re right when they say,
You should take things slow.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It all went wrong,
When you threw in my face,
The words I had whispered.
To no one but you,
At 3 o’clock late.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was to be blamed,
But not for what you said.
I told you too many truths,
Master manipulator.
Was plastered all over that pretty face.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Story of my life,
Guess you didn’t mean,
To make me the villain,
But boys like you I’ve seen.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry doesn’t make you weak,
Love doesn’t make you mean.
If I had known,
The consequences of that smirky face,
I would’ve just gone to sleep,
At 3 o’clock late.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
