Patricia: I Thought You Were the One

By Patricia Wood

You think you know me very well
or so you see…
But that is not true,
for you don’t know the rest of me.
The rumors that I’ve heard about you
just hurt me so bad,
they say you’re cheating on me
and it makes me mad.

Tell me the truth, tell me now
Don’t sit there and lie
because you’ll look like a clown.

Is it true or is it not?
Tell me now because
it has to stop.

The pain that I’ve seen
through your eyes
every time you look at me…

But that’s nothing compared
to your self-esteem.

I need to know so I
won’t worry about a thing
All this pain
makes my heart sting.

I always thought you were the one,
but now I don’t know.
It’s like a butterfly,
not knowing how to grow.

Tell me now, is it true?
Either way, I’ll still love
the real you!
