When I was in 4th grade a girl named Claire
Kicked my ***
And left me on the blacktop
I swore it would never happen again
When I was 17 a girl named Ashley
Kicked my ***
And left my heart in pieces
I swore to never trust love again
I just turned 23 and a girl I shouldn’t name
Kicked my ***
I wanted to give her everything
For the very first time
But I never got off the blacktop
My heart is still in pieces
Love is still untrustworthy
I need to learn to fight.

When I was in 4th grade a girl named Claire
Kicked my ***
And left me on the blacktop
I swore it would never happen again
When I was 17 a girl named Ashley
Kicked my ***
And left my heart in pieces
I swore to never trust love again
I just turned 23 and a girl I shouldn’t name
Kicked my ***
I wanted to give her everything
For the very first time
But I never got off the blacktop
My heart is still in pieces
Love is still untrustworthy
I need to learn to fight.
We accept the love we think we deserve.
I don't accept much.
