I didn't realize
All the while I had to open my eyes
I was bein' played out
I have to take a stand
I can no longer be your man
Coz someone took that place

I thought I felt love - I was mistaken so mistaken
All I had was trust - but I was holdin' on a lie
I was holdin' on a lie

Coz you had secret meetings when I was away
And there I was bein' faithful
But you had to break out and live like you're alone
Like no one was thinking about you

Coz now I realize
All the while I had to open my eyes
I was bein' played out
I have to take a stand
I can no longer be your man
Coz someone took that place

Don't turn this on me - coz I was there (was there) for you
Now I'm sayin' goodbye - don't be surprised. I'm gonna leave you

Coz I don't want to waste my time on a player
Somebody else deserves my love
And one day when you find your match and you're in pain
Remember what you did to me

Coz now I realize
All the while I had to open my eyes
I was bein' played out
I had to take a stand
That I can no longer be your man
Coz you took that away

Maybe one day
Maybe one night
Maybe when someone else is mine
Maybe I'll call to check on you
Maybe someday
When I'm far away
Holding onto my newfound love
Slowly I'll forget your face

Coz now I realize
All the while I had to open my eyes
I was bein' played out
I had to take a stand
I can no longer be your man
Coz you took that away

Away . (you took it away)
