You said that I could leave you lonely in a crowded room

By smiling bright for everyone but you

And I'm embarrassed to confess it, but it all rings true

You said that charm of mine was easy to abuse

And if I'm so smart

How can I learn so slow

You had the hard part

I was the last to know

I let the flash blind me

The years pass by

Standing in your light for most of the time

And I did it, I kissed him

And that felt like virtue enough
