I feel I can’t trust anyone. I watch my back cuz in the past I’ve been treated so bad.
Why did I think that you were different?
Why did I listen to what you said?
Why did I think you actually cared for me?
You just went and treated me like they all did.
You persuaded me to stop believing that everyone out there was gonna hurt me. Just like all the other liars you hurt me too.
Why did I think that you were different?
Why did I listen to what you said?
Why did I think you actually cared for me?
You just went and treated me like they all did.
You wore quite a mask. I couldn’t see the bad. But then you told me I meant nothing to you, and I saw the real you at last.
Why did I think that you were different?
Why did I listen to what you said?
Why did I think you actually cared for me?
You just went and treated me like they all did.
Today when I saw you, you smiled with pride cuz you pulled the wool over my eyes. But I left you with a parting gift of advice: “Get over yourself and quit breathing lies!”
Why did I think that you were different?
Why did I listen to what you said?
Why did I think you actually cared for me?
You just went and treated me like they all did.
