I've been let down so many times
I just expected it at this point
So I don't get hurt
To be honest
I've fucking changed.....Like a lot
I'm not as nice as I used to be
Because I don't want to be used
And I hardly trust anyone anymore
I don't tell anyone my secrets
Because behind every fake smile
Is a backstabber
I distance myself from people cause
They're only going to leave
I've experienced that
One thing I've learned is
If someone won't lift a finger to call you or
See you or spend time with you
It's time you lift your hand up
And wave goodbye
And sometimes you have to doubt
How many times
Someone you love and care about has to hurt you
Before you finally don't fucking care anymore
I've adapted to a life where that happens
Because I'm the only person
I can depend on in this life
