High and Dry
By Caitlyn Callery
Oh wow! What can I say? Just oh wow!
You had me fooled, but I know better now.
All the things you promised, all the things you said,
All the wondrous fantasies I saw in my head,
Taken in a second when I found out you lied,
But here I am, alone and lost.
You left me high and dry.
I pinned all my hopes on you, thought I was safe and sound.
Knew that I could trust you and you'd never let me down.
Didn't matter what the others tried to say to me,
You were everything and I knew we were meant to be.
I turned my back on all of them, I cut all my ties,
How could I know you'd leave me alone, and I'd be high and dry.
Oh wow! What can I say? Just oh wow!
You had me fooled, but I know better now.
All the things you promised, all the things you said,
All the wondrous fantasies I saw in my head,
Taken in a second when I found out you lied,
But here I am, alone and lost.
You left me high and dry.
Didn't matter what the others tried to say to me,
You were everything and I knew we were meant to be.
It hurts, oh, how it hurts to learn that I was wrong,
To learn I should have listened to the others all along.
Now I know the truth of you, I know about your lies,
I'm standing here abandoned where you left me, high and dry.
Oh wow! What can I say? Just oh wow!
You had me fooled, but I know better now.
All the things you promised, all the things you said,
All the wondrous fantasies I saw in my head,
Taken in a second when I found out you lied,
But here I am, alone and lost.
You left me high and dry.
But don't you fret, I'm not done yet,
I'll find my way to shore.
Won't let you win, I'll get back in,
And stronger than before.
And you will see, you don't beat me,
With subterfuge and lies.
I learn real fast, and I'll push past
Your lies, your lies, your lies…
They left me high and dry.
Oh wow! What can I say? Just oh wow!
You had me fooled, but I know better now.
All the things you promised, all the things you said,
All the wondrous fantasies I saw in my head,
Taken in a second when I found out you lied,
But here I am, alone and lost.
You left me…
You left me…
You left me high and dry.
