Behind a Mask of Perfection

Why does life have to be so confusing?
How much more can a girl take?
How can a little thing like love be so complex,
Basing every action on hoping you don’t make a mistake?

Looks aren’t everything, but they’re so deceiving
You think you’re over him, till he smiles at you
He acts so sincerely nice and of course, being naïve
You forgive him and do anything he wants you to

Your need to be loved drives you insane
Until you think everything he says is the truth
One second, he’ll seem like your soul mate
The next, a stranger so uncouth

It’s not uncommon to be fooled by the opposite sex
His lies are concealed by his amenity
He hides his twisted, betraying true self
Under a coat of charm and serenity

But once you look past that exterior,
You’ll see he’s just a waste of time
Set out only to break the hearts of many
By using the same, arrogant line

Take heed to these warnings
They are much unlike that of a lie
Don’t settle for the first to proclaim affection
Wait until you find, for you, the perfect guy

Otherwise, you’ll be played a fool
You’ll be hoodwinked and mislead
Take it from one who went through these things
Refuse to let men mess up your head
