You’re the most loyal person
But no one is ever loyal to you
You put up a fight for the people you love
But no one does the same for you
You stay up late at night
Overthinking things you’ve said or done
You’ve raised a barricade around yourself
So you won’t get hurt again
You feel so fragile that if you open up
The past will repeat itself
Now you wear a disguise
To hide all you feel inside
You people please just to feel at ease
And you forgive so you can try to forget
Most of all you feel like you have to say sorry
Even if it’s not your fault
Even if it’s not necessary at all…
Have you been that hurt?
Yes, by those I opened up to
Those who I thought were true
Those who may have been like me and you
All I ever really wanted
Was to be loved for who I am
But how am I supposed to open up
If they turn out to be a sham.
Pretty much explains itself :/
Can you relate?
