Never the Same
You showed me that love could be right
and I didn't believe I was up for that fight
You may think I walked away, but I know how I ran
I never felt woman enough for the love of one good man
I was a good-time girl in a hard cold world
with my lips painted pink and my long hair curled
I offered myself as something fun for a while
What little I was, was yours for a smile
When you broke the rules you broke my game
and ever since you I've been never the same
When everyone else was playing a part
You were the one who was playing by heart
You treated me as worthy when I thought I'd never be
If I really am now it's 'cause all you've changed in me
Such a gift you were to me and I just ran away
and now it's gone so long unsaid, I fear I'll never say
I was always honest though just as seldom true
Everything I really was, was all I hid from you
I'm sorry if I hurt you, it just hurt too much to try
Please know I really loved you, my heart could never lie
I'd rather extinguish, than be consumed by, the flame
but ever since you I've been never the same
When everyone else was playing the part
You were the one who was taking my heart
