Never trust a sociopath You are but a mere pawn The game of chess their playing Before you were even born Consistently controlling Expertly they design While you begin to question They assure you it's all fine Exploring your securities Challenging your beliefs Showering you with compliments The love they show is deep Very few close friendships As noone understands Only you can see within Ignoring the red flags At first they look in awe at you Jealous of your heart But trust them at your peril As they'll tear your soul apart Never trust a sociopath They play a different game As you lean for contentment They jump on a faster train They search for risky consequence Find excitement in your fears They pick away until you bleed And shame away your tears They'll push you to your limits Then walk away with glee As you question what was said You'll be begging on your knees Friends will see right through them They'll hate them from the start They plant small seeds of questioning Guiding them apart The easy way to make you theirs Is fill your hopes with doubt They isolate, they devastate You'll learn to never shout As you begin to change yourself You start to question you They'll laugh and say it's in your head You oversensitive fool Family is worried Friends try to explain You try to reassure them You try to hide your pain Never trust a sociopath Unless you learn their games They only have one weakness And that's their lack of shame When you understand a sociopath You'll find the strength within As you have love, and joy, and trust That's how they dragged you in The very things they made you doubt The things that make you true But as you see life's not a game They lose their grip on you To understand a sociopath Are broken at the core While they sit planning their next move Youve already closed the door

Never trust a sociopath
Never trust a sociopath You are but a mere pawn The game of chess their playing Before you were even born Consistently controlling Expertly they design While you begin to question They assure you it's all fine Exploring your securities Challenging your beliefs Showering you with compliments The love they show is deep Very few close friendships As noone understands Only you can see within Ignoring the red flags At first they look in awe at you Jealous of your heart But trust them at your peril As they'll tear your soul apart Never trust a sociopath They play a different game As you lean for contentment They jump on a faster train They search for risky consequence Find excitement in your fears They pick away until you bleed And shame away your tears They'll push you to your limits Then walk away with glee As you question what was said You'll be begging on your knees Friends will see right through them They'll hate them from the start They plant small seeds of questioning Guiding them apart The easy way to make you theirs Is fill your hopes with doubt They isolate, they devastate You'll learn to never shout As you begin to change yourself You start to question you They'll laugh and say it's in your head You oversensitive fool Family is worried Friends try to explain You try to reassure them You try to hide your pain Never trust a sociopath Unless you learn their games They only have one weakness And that's their lack of shame When you understand a sociopath You'll find the strength within As you have love, and joy, and trust That's how they dragged you in The very things they made you doubt The things that make you true But as you see life's not a game They lose their grip on you To understand a sociopath Are broken at the core While they sit planning their next move Youve already closed the door
