If only I could’ve seen the glimpse of my future When I said the words “I love you.” If only I took heed to the warnings my friends said to me, Instead of breaking down my walls And having my heart torn, Shredded, Abused. If only I was able to see the monster in you Before I gave myself Only to be broken and lied to, Every ounce of trust Wasted with you. Every time I hear you say those words “I love you,” “I still want you,” I only see your arms wrapped around her Or your body against hers in the shower. What a fool I was, For letting my heart control me again.

If only I could’ve seen the glimpse of my future When I said the words “I love you.” If only I took heed to the warnings my friends said to me, Instead of breaking down my walls And having my heart torn, Shredded, Abused. If only I was able to see the monster in you Before I gave myself Only to be broken and lied to, Every ounce of trust Wasted with you. Every time I hear you say those words “I love you,” “I still want you,” I only see your arms wrapped around her Or your body against hers in the shower. What a fool I was, For letting my heart control me again.
To the ******* who tore me down. This time, I'll get back up... Stronger, better, smarter, so I won't give in to people like you again.
