lyrics

And you were right all along
My desire was far too strong
I kept waiting on you to change your mind
As if you'd one day decide to be mine

I let you use me as well as you could
I did everything a potential lover would
Anything to prolong the time
Before you'd eventually leave for good

I always loved you
But I gave you obsession
You didn't want either of these transgressions

I always loved you
And wanted your love in return
But reciprocation is not something that one can earn

It's either there or its not
Loving me back was never in your plot
And I should not have stuck around
To run your courtesy into the ground

You'll never love me
It's not what I deserve nor what I'm owed
And there were never any feelings for you to show
Other than disgust and loathing

But there is still this devotion
That has been resting inside me
At the bottom of the crater
That sat my obsession
That led to catastrophe

I can never know you again
We cannot be friends for I am a lost cause
Pause silence for an apology
And there will be no applause

You were my victim
I was your abuser
You are the winner
And I'm the loser

I'll always love you Madoka
I'll always love you Madoka
I'll always love you Madoka
But I'll never love you the way I did before
