I would have given anything just to win your love 
I wasted precious time, on an empty dream 
Needless to say I could never be because you never really wanted me 
You never gave me hopes to be 
Disappointment was my friend 
You were destined to become my demise 
Until I came to realize that the prize was not worth the pain

I used to dream of a love so true 
God only knew how I needed you
You were everything I ever dreamed of 
Thought you were my angel from above 
When I separate the truth from the lies 
And the deception from those 
Now, you've had your 15 minutes of fame 
Ooooh woooh
Because the prize is not worth the pain

If you don't believe me, 
Keep on living and you will see 
Deception can blow your mind 
Just remember one thing 
You're worth more than anything that can control your mind

If you don't believe me, 
Keep on living and you will see 
Deception can blow your mind 
Just remember one thing 
You're worth more than anything 
That can control your time
