And you
Bring me to my knees
Again
I remember the first time that I saw her standing backstage with her daddy. I wondered how a helpless angel like her could be related to the devil that I knew from experience that her father is. So fucking beautiful that it hurt and so damn fragile I knew that I had to protect her and cherish her.
Standing in that ring tonight looking at you… I remembered why I fell in love with you. You looked… almost… like that beautifully fragile woman I fell for. Then you spoke and I remembered that you were more of Satan than your father ever has been.
All the times
That I could beg you please
In vain
I almost did it… I almost let you suck me back into hell. God I wanted you so bad. I wanted forever with you so bad. The things I did for you. The times I let you manipulate me even though I knew it was being done and allowed it anyway just because of that angelic face and what I just KNEW in my heart even thought my eyes and my brain SCREAMED that it was only an illusion.
All the times
That I felt insecure
For you
God the things I let you do to my soul. When I met you I thought I'd never see the light again. Joanie had my head so goddamn messed up and there you were shining of purity and innocence… little did I know they were only the devil's illusions created by the master just for me. I thought Joanie was bad, but at least with her I KNEW what was going on. I knew what and who I was fighting and I knew why. At least with her there was reasoning, but you… I never stood a chance. I let you convince me that my friends were holding me back. I let you bend my mind until I believed that only you and daddy knew what was best for me. God the hell I went through all in the name of loving YOU!!!
But I leave
My burdens at the door
I looked at my friends and saw their troubles and their turmoil and I TRULY BELIEVED that I was better off not there… with them. Helping them and carrying them and… loving them. I left EVERY GODDAMN THING I KNEW FOR YOU!! I SACRIFICED WHO I AM FOR YOU!!!
But no more.
But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
It wasn't until I got hurt that I began to wonder. Somehow in the haze that was those first few days after the surgery filled to the gills with medication and pain. It was as if I was somehow removed from myself… on the outside of my body looking in on what was my life.
And what I saw I didn't like… I didn't understand.
I can see through you
I can see your true colors
You told me they hated me. You told me they didn't want me. You told me they didn't love me. You told me I was never really Kliq to begin with.
Then Why were they there? Why when I needed them the most?? Why when I didn't even ask they were there?? All of them the remaining 5 camped out in a hospital waiting room waiting on the results of a surgery on a man that they hadn't spoken to civilly in… hell for some of them YEARS??!!
WHY??
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
And I began to wonder. I knew what I was. Dirty… evil… heartless and cold. Willing to sacrifice anything and everything to get that ONE truth in my life!! But you… you were suppose to be my Angel. The goodness to my evilness. The sanity to my insanity.
The light to my darkness.
But you told me that they didn't love me? And if they didn't love me why were they there?
If you are my angel why did you lie?
Since when do angels lie?
I can see through you
See to the real you
And slowly I realized… you weren't what I thought. As months went by and day by day I BUSTED MY ASS to get back to you. As I fought to push the doubt and the longing their simple presence had brought into my life away I COULD NOT GET PAST THE FACT THAT YOU LIED!!
I didn't get it. I didn't understand. I couldn't comprehend.
Since when do angels lie?
All the times
That I felt like this won't end
Was for you
I fought and I bled and I battled for you. I believed and I abandoned and I sacrificed for you. EVERY GODDAMN THING THAT I DID AND FELT AND HURT WAS FOR YOU!!! It was for YOU!!! But… what were you?? The one thing that kept EATING AT MY SOUL!! The one FUCKING QUESTION THAT BOUNCED AROUND MY BRAIN LIKE KID ON SPEED WAS…
Since when do angels lie?
And the answer that I couldn't escape was…
They don't.
So if you aren't my angel what are you??
And I taste
What I could never have
It's from you
I was SO FUCKING CLOSE!! SO GODAMN CLOSE to putting ALL OF IT BEHIND!!
And in the span of a minute it was gone. One little visit… one memory… one kiss.
On your lips.
So Perfect.
So Soft.
So deadly.
One little kiss.
But not from me.
All the times
That I've tried
I swear I tried to forget it. I reasoned. I blamed. I raged. I swore. I cried.
Never once had they turned their backs on me. In my darkest hour they were there.
In my darkest hour you were kissing Chris Jericho.
My intentions
Full of pride
So there I was. At the bottom of nothing. My hands full of empty promises and realizing that all my dreams were for nothing. The things I wanted… the goals that I aspired to mean nothing. Because they were based on an angel…
Who lies.
But I waste
More time than anyone
I told myself when I returned that I could work around it. I reasoned that after everything I had done that they would NEVER take me back. I tried to pretend that I could live as if I hadn't seen you and him sharing that one little kiss.
But I couldn't.
But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
So I ranted and I raged and I destroyed us. I took everything I had and threw it away with no idea what to do then. I swore I hated you. I swore I didn't need you.
I swore I didn't need them.
But I was still wrong.
I can see through you
See your true colors
Eventually I had to look in the mirror and REALLY look. I had to get past you and past Joanie and past even the Kliq. I had to see things I didn't want to see and forgive things I didn't want to forgive and forget things that I didn't want to forget.
I had to admit that I wasn't the evilness. I wasn't the darkness. I wasn't the insanity.
You were.
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
I am no more and no less human. I fucked up. Booooooooy did I fuck up. Hey when a Kliq member does something they do it well right?? And who was I not to follow tradition. But you. You are the very devil himself. You are everything I thought I was and more.
You make me look like a saint baby!
I can see through you
See to the real you
And now I know who you are. The only angel you are is the devil's angel. A representative of the Dark God himself. You are more manipulative than Kevin and HBK on their BEST days! You are ruthless… god you make your dad look like a rank amateur.
You are no angel…
Angel's don't lie.
All the times
That I've cried
God I crashed. I bawled like a baby. I was sure I was done. I swear I tried my best to end it all. Bought the gun and everything. Loaded it. Raised it. Even put my finger on the trigger. And there they were.
The phone rang. God you know me. I can't stand to listen to the damn thing ring.
All this wasted
It's all inside
So I pick it up and there they are. My life line. My soul. My heart. My faith. My love.
My Kliq
And I feel
All this pain
God it was hard. Asking to come back. Begging to be let back in. Throwing away what was left of my shattered pride. Ripping open the thin scabs covering all those wounds.
But I did it.
Stuffed it down
It's back again
So once again I busted my ass. I fought and I bled and I sacrificed.
They weren't all forgiving or forgetting. I had to work. I had to prove I belonged.
I had to remember what they were.
What I was.
What we were.
But I did it.
And I lie
Here in bed
So here I am. Alone. Staring at the ceiling. My mind is full of all the crap that went down tonight. "Divorcing you" on TV. You fought to the very end. Insisting that you had done no wrong. SWEARING you were still my angel. But I had to laugh. And the only thing that came to mind was one tiny question.
Since when do angels lie?
All alone
I can't mend
I wouldn't have been able to do it alone. I wouldn't have gotten trough tonight alone. But I learned my lesson. I am a changed man. When I realized I couldn't get out of tonight I did what any Kliq member does when his back is pinned against the wall.
I called the Big Bad Wolf.
But I feel
Tomorrow will be OK
The bed dips and I turn my eyes to see my life smiling at me. A pair of bright blue eyes and the sexiest grin on the face of the earth. My Showstoppa. My Main Event.
MY Heartbreak Kid
I shoulda known Kev would send him to me. It's what Kevin does best. He knows EXACTLY what his cubs need in any given moment. And I needed Shawn Michaels.
But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
Tomorrow will be hard. My role has changed. I think.
Shawn says not to worry. Management doesn't make the leaders the boys do. Vince and Stephanie can preach all they want, but if the boys want me the boys will get me.
And in the end I will win.
Cause we will say so.
I can see through you
See your true colors
I know what you are now Stephanie McMahon. An angel in disguise. Certainly not helpless. Certainly not fragile.
Certainly not an angel.
Certainly not MY angel.
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
You… you are everything you wanted me to believe that I was. You are ugly not me.
The truth is that NO ONE is perfect. No one is always an angel AND NO ONE IS ALWAYS EVIL, but some…
Like you…
Choose to be bad as often as you can.
I can see through you
See to the real you
"Hunts forget her," Shawn whispered smiling seductively.
"Forget who?" Paul asked smiling as he rolled on top of his love determined to be the angel he deserved.
