When I needed words of encouragement I came to you, vulnerable and broken Instead of lifting me up You cut me down Your words were like a razor-blade had spoken When I looked to you for guidance I came to you, open mind and open heart Instead of showing me the way You snapped at me Your words were the teeth of a shark When I really needed someone to be there I came to you, so I didn't feel so alone Instead of being someone to lean on for support You let me fall Your words were like rocks thown I had been alone the entire time You had been by my side When I needed you the most You abandoned me Left to figure it out on my own It didn't take long Before I knew I was better off Without your negativity in my life But I now know I need to take more time Before making a woman my wife!

Your Words of Harm
When I needed words of encouragement I came to you, vulnerable and broken Instead of lifting me up You cut me down Your words were like a razor-blade had spoken When I looked to you for guidance I came to you, open mind and open heart Instead of showing me the way You snapped at me Your words were the teeth of a shark When I really needed someone to be there I came to you, so I didn't feel so alone Instead of being someone to lean on for support You let me fall Your words were like rocks thown I had been alone the entire time You had been by my side When I needed you the most You abandoned me Left to figure it out on my own It didn't take long Before I knew I was better off Without your negativity in my life But I now know I need to take more time Before making a woman my wife!
