My heart is not a tool
It’s tired of being broken down and played with

Oh how you've let me down so many times but I stood by you
Just like a fool who was just too blind to see through you
Until the day that I realized
Your chains of lies were habits too light to be felt
You refuse to break your patterns because you are afraid that you’ll finally feel

Feel the pain that you selfishly pushed aside!
My first thought was, how can a man be so cruel?
I took a chance and jumped with you
You shattered me into tiny little pieces
And I still picked them up while bleeding
And put them back into your hands

I TRUSTED YOU! And for a while we were happy
You were happy!

But you still couldn’t see that
Your mind does not have to be your prison
You don’t have to stay locked up in the past that have let you down so many times!

I saw the love in an empty heart and selflessly made it mines

Why do you put yourself through this?
Why do you stay with him?
To answer your questions

I had a lot of reasons to give up on him, but choose to stay because he's been hurt by people whose never been taught how to love. He once took my pain and made it his own, he saved me! So why shouldn’t I save him?
