One Night

How much bitterness can your heart hold?
How much confusion can your words cause?
I feel confused, used, abused,
What happened to us?
Why must we fight?

One night of pleasure
A lifetime of regret
Rejection upon reflection
Anger and sadness caused by your words
The words of hate or maybe love
Only you will know

How could you be so cruel?
Hurt me so deep inside
You have judged me to no avail
Where will you go from here?

One night too many fights
Was it worth it I ask you now?
Was it worth it I ask myself?
Would I return to that night?

My answer is clear
Not for all the money in the world
What did I see in you?
What made me believe you were different?
You are not you are just another
Bitch waiting to walk all over me,

One night of pleasure
A lifetime of regret
Rejection upon reflection
Anger and sadness caused by your words
The words of hate or maybe love
Only you will know

This time I have changed
I will not lie down
I will not let you walk all over me
You have hurt me now there’s no going back
You have met your match.

One night too many fights
Was it worth it I ask you now?
Was it worth it I ask myself?
Would I ever return to that night?
(Not for all the money in this world)
