I asked you to
The weekend formal
But from your answer
I thought you didn't care
You said you were
Going with your ex
And I knew right then
He was up to no good
You said I should go anyway
You said you'd be social
But you lied to me
And it cut me deep
I decided to go anyway
Despite my best advice
But I see now that
It was probably a bad idea
Sitting in the shower
Water washing over me
I said to myself over and over
Tonight is my night
Arriving early there
I had to wait outside
And I told myself again
Tonight is my night
When I saw you walk
Through the door there
I was amazed by your
Amaranthine beauty
The night started out
Quite boring I must say
And right from the start
I could tell it would be
A bad night for me
Sitting outside alone
I started wondering
What ever happened to
Tonight is my night?
And so it came to pass
That "tonight is my night"
Was all an intricate
Lie devised by my mind
To get me to go where
I knew nothing good would
Happen to one like me.
I watched you two go
And a tear almost came
With me knowing deeply
That tonight was your night
And I was merely a pawn
In the harsh game of life.
