Just Another Heartbreaker - Mel Afoa

You were right,
I am no Queen.
I am not perfect, and I never was.
You compared me to Queen Guinevere,
you had claimed I was exactly like her.

I betrayed King Arthur and ran away with Sir Lancelot,
and you, King Arthur,
were left with a pierced heart and a broken kingdom.
You screamed that you had given me everything,
diamonds, protection, happiness, a whole kingdom,
and yet I turrned my back against it all.

I could not offer enough apologies,
offering more excuses worth a sorry,
and I hate that I've let our love perish,
our connection dead and withering.
I realise that running away with him was a mistake,
but know that I didn't mean to hurt you,
I was following my heart, the calling,
and it led me to a dead-end street.

I left you behind, hoping you would find another love,
a love who could love you better than me.
You deserve a woman who could give you the world,
who can sacrifice everything just to have you in her arms,
You deserve a world of your own, mountains and seas,
a beautfiul blue sky and the brightest sun the Universe can sell,
and I cannot, should not give it to you after all I have done.

Karma would come around, and put me in my cell,
but know that I will always love you.
Always.
You were right, I am no Queen.
Just another heartbreaker, another Queen Guinevere.
