Gregory Doyle - Sham Lyrics

You appeared and finally everything came together
All my insecurities would disappear forever
I cried out, fulfilled, knowing someone out there could hear me
All I needed to do was find you and keep you near me

I assumed that this was an honest communication
I was pleased to help you arrive quickly from your nation
What else could I have done, in love and so very happy
I was certain you were right there feeling all that with me

But I was just making a fool out of myself
You couldn't believe how much I was willing to help

So not long after we had first met in an online chat room
You were down on one knee holding out a treasured heirloom
We were wed in their presence-those whom I love most dearly
Some were trying to tell me that this was far too early

Sure enough they proved to be warnings I should have heeded
You abandoned me once you had everything you needed
The facade collapsed-how could I not have seen it coming?
You were distant, often unresponsive, always humming

Yeah I was played, there'd been no bonding as I'd thought
Fate can be cruel, I should have known, but I forgot

The deep loathing, the great sense of loss,
To which your callousness gave birth
Caused me to question my own worth

I am not the one who should be ashamed of his actions
I was genuine when I said I felt an attraction
You're the coward here, no longer will I let you hurt me
This is good riddance, get it? I'm willing to play dirty

I know there'll be times when I recall this in the future
And it will be hard, but you'll have been the bigger loser
I am keeping my head up, yeah, you will not control me
I have friends who will take time to comfort and console me

But then there I was making a fool out of myself
You couldn't believe how much I was willing to help

You wretched liar
How you conspire
You will be thwarted
Bound and deported
