If our lives truly have meaning
Why do so many people feel useless?
If our hearts are allowed to blindly love
Why do they get broken?
If...
If in the worst case can best describe
How puzzled we really are
Confused about how this could happen
Why this is happening to us in particular
But the truth is...
Maybe we weren't that special
Maybe we deserve to feel pain
Maybe we ourselves take away the meaning of our lives
So stupidly and blindly babbling away
How could we spend so much time
Building a barrier around our hearts
And in a moment of weakness we put down that barrier
Because our thoughts usually are
"This person could never hurt me"
"They'd never break my heart"
"They'd never lie to me, or make me feel like a fool"
But once we are hit with the reality of
People lie
And people cheat
And steal
We stand there holding our hearts in our hands as if they'd been torn out of our chests
With such a confused look on our face
We never thought this would happen
Not to us
But maybe
This had been happening all along
And we were so blinded by love
That we couldn't see it
