It's funny how a person can make you never trust again
But simultaneously, all you wanna do is be able to trust someone again
But you're skeptical... sometimes somewhat cynical
Questioning every little thing
Because maybe it just seems too good to be true
Questions run through your mind, almost uncontrollably
Will history repeat itself?
Will this time be worse?
Is this finally a "happy ending"?
Or could this potentially just end in divorce?

Call me cynical but I kind of believe;
Marriage is just a piece of paper
A wedding ring is just a piece of jewellery
At least that's what my Mum always used to tell me
As soon as the word "prenup" comes up, suddenly they're kind of angry
Marriage these days, is just another way to say money
Marriage just doesn't sound like love to me
No longer is marriage sacred
More often than not these days, just like a relationship
- It's filled with secrets, lies and hatred
Makes sense I guess, because there is such a fine line between
Love and hate
Pleasure and pain
After a while, I guess it all just starts to feel the same


But we don't wanna be alone secretly
Although some people will never admit it
So we lock the what if questions away in a cabinet
Hope to break the "too good to be true" never ending habit
Allowing yourself to be open and vulnerable once again
Giving them your heart and soul, all the while quietly saying

Please don't ******* break it
Because honestly I couldn't take it

Make this world make sense
It's all so contradictory...
