Snakes In The Grass

Snakes In The Grass

©2000 by Bud Lemire

I thought all this time, that our love was true

But I guess, that I never really knew you

I thought the lies that had started

Were long gone and had departed

We were miles apart, and bad weather all around

The snakes were in between us, crawling on the ground

Always something keeping us apart, when I thought everything was great

And when love is true, I should have never had to wait

Was it the people in your life, that kept us apart

Or was it just a game, you played with my heart

The phone calls and the chats, they seemed so real

Or were you the shoe, and I was the heel

I thought my soul knew you, I felt everything

I guess I was wrong, you've found someone else's wing

You could have been truthful, you're a coward and a fake

And I send all we had, to the bottom of the lake

For you aren't the special person, I have come to know

You've betrayed me, and stepped right on my toe

But what you do to others, comes back onto you

You'll be living nightmares, because of all you do

There are poisonous snakes, they are found everywhere

People sick and evil, and I will be aware

I've encountered many, but some of them are true

I hope someday you feel the pain, when one of them bites you

What I want to know, is were you the victim or the snake

You will sleep forever, in the bed that you make

Once a liar, always a liar

Feeding the flames of Hell's fire

One night, someone paged me in a private chat

to tell me that someone hasn't been nice to me.

He said, there's a snake in the grass.
