This is why you can't be trusted
With you it is always another game
Only care about yourself
After all these years you're still the same
This is why I refuse to get too close
Took time but I've finally learned
Is safer to keep my distance
Than touch you and risk getting burned
This is why I am scared to give you my heart
I am afraid to let myself fall
Each chance taken winds up with it shattered
Amazed there is any of it left at all
This is why I don't dare peek at your face
You are bad for my health this I know
Loneliness cuts straight through my skin
Have no choice but to let you go
