This is why I have trust issues
It's why I won't allow you in
Say you've changed for the better
Here I am disappointed again

You continue swearing oaths
Unlikely to keep
Then get dejected
When I do not believe

Relentlessly hoping you will come through
You succeed
Once in awhile
Even then there's always some catch
Typical "Paul Wilton" style

Don't tell me words I want to hear
You lack the means to back it up
Reassure me you've got my back
When not taken care of

I do not expect a lot from you
This is the explanation why
Proven to be unreliable
Uttering lie after lie

I was dumb to depend on you
Made that foolish mistake
Displayed time and time again
Your stories are all fake

Plans laid do not work out
Never the one to blame
Any amount of faith put in you
Forever ends the same

Your anticipation to please just pains
When your statements are put to the test
The paradise you promise
Ceases to manifest

Be up front
Open
About limitations
Don't offer lavish fantasies
They're only fabrications

This is why expectations are low
It's why I doubt your honesty
This is the reason we aren't together
Scared this is how you'll always be
