Eaten Alive

I once thought you knew
How to take me there.
But it seems you knew
What I wanted to hear.

I held down my game,
Thought you'd do the same.
But you brought me pain,
Gave me up for gain.

I was stuck on you
Guess I had no clue.
Then my world turned blue,
But you didn't come through.

I once thought I knew
You'd always be there.
Now I know it's true
Fate never plays fair.
