My eyes were sparkling back then - filled with joy
I used to believe that love was so beautiful - turns out it was coy
The first one was naive, reckless, and bold
I should've listened to my mama - to be strong, be cold.
Love changed me, broke me, tore me up
But I was clinging to the idea that I shouldn't give up
My man is somewhere in the middle of this crowd
I can't wait to meet him, my heart just did the loudest pound
Admittedly, I fell in love a couple times
With people who filled me with temporary smiles
Don't blame me - I was a fool
I'd do anything - all I needed was a call
After some time, I got tired
The spark that I used to have - it is no longer required
If you want to take my hand
Climb up my tower - thorned, high, and manned
My spark is still there, but I got wiser
I learned to protect myself for I am my own treasure
To get my touch you have to fall deeply
Stuck in a pit where it's just you and me
Some have tried, some have faded
But they weren't what I wanted, never what I needed
Love for me is simple - I will be honest, okay?
Just don't do any shortcuts - be steady and walk one way
This could go all day and I wouldn't be even done
Talking about love and what it does to one
But looking back into the past and thinking about the future
I realized that cupid failed to become the best shooter
