someone I thought I loved (rewrite 1)

you were never a friend to me
I only see
you in my rear view mirror
lost to empty memories
just let me be
alone I see much clearer
when I recall your lies
I realize
this time I've had enough
you were just someone I thought I loved
someone I thought I loved

you were never really ever honest
a broken promise
there were quite a few
all this time I kept believing
well, now we're even
I've learned to play it cool
when I think of you
I'm so glad we're through
the going was getting rough
you were just someone I thought I loved
someone I thought I loved

          you had me fooled
          I followed your rules
          till my heart was hollow
          but I've learned a little bit by now
          you're showing me how
          to face a new tomorrow

you never knew love for me
I only see
all that in hindsight now
sometimes I'm a little slow
but now I know
just what I won't allow
I know now what to do
without you
I'm learning my heart is tough
you were just someone I thought I loved
someone I thought I loved
