I've been played.
Was listening to a lovely old mix-tape I was given once, a few years back... Was running back through a mental stash of old conversations and listening to these lovely songs... Was thinking how lovely they were, how sweet it was that someone would think of me in relation to such pretty music...
...And realized that those songs had nothing to do with me... But everything to do with someone else...
I've been played. I've been listening to the audio version of sloppy seconds. And loving it. And not having any idea until the other day on my way to work, when I actually listened to the lyrics for the first time to some of this stuff...
It's a sad, sad world.
