I wish I had told you
That trust did not come easy
I pretended like this was the way it should be

There were too many broken promises
Too many walkouts in my life that made it hard to believe you
Made it impossible to see good in you

All those years of insults that were buried deep within me
I tried to let go, but they stood out whenever I looked in the mirror
Teasing me, questioning those beautiful words you said to me

How could I let those silly words hurt me and follow me after all these years
Insecurities eating me alive
Making me feel like your words were a lie

You were so good to me
I was just so broken
Built a fort to save me
