Infected

[2006]

Infected

Our eyes were connected

My heart unprotected

And somehow I knew

I would end up infected

For once I surrendered

I let myself go

And now you are gone

And I’ve nothing to show

I had up my bubble

It guarded me, too

It helped to protect me

From people like you

You knocked on my bubble

At first I was strong

I knew that inside it

Was where I belonged

I knew of the love

Some people depict

I knew of the pain

They really inflict

But you took offense

To my hesitation

You wanted my trust

And my admiration

You were good, I admit

You seemed so sincere

You told me the things

I wanted to hear

The way that your hand

Always held onto mine

Sent millions of shivers

Along my spine

You fed me your bullshit

In one giant cup

And boy, was I thirsty

I drank it all up

The way that you looked at me

Melted my bubble

I never suspected

That you would be trouble

Now fully exposed

I had no protection

And slowly you started

To shoot your injection

Just like a virus

You spread and you spread

All of your nonsense

Went straight to my head

It took me a while

To see you were flawed

That you were a phony

A fake and a fraud

When soon I discerned

Your intentions so cruel

I knew you had won

And I made a fool

So up went my bubble

Now stronger than ever

And virus protection

I’ll use forever.
