I created distance between me and the rest
Kept myself hidden like a treasure chest
I didn't want anything to do with the outside
I grew distant as my way to hide
I was tired of every single lie
They thought I would buy
Their actions were absurd
Knowing they couldn't keep their word
I lost all trust I ever had
Knowing everything would turn out bad
I lost hope, became paranoid
Anyone who tried to get close I would avoid
I no longer wanted to believe
Just remembering I would grieve
There will never be change
It's nothing new, nothing strange
---
It's a shame
Everyone's the same
Their anger they can't tame
At your heart they will aim
They saw you as a foolish joke
And as they cruelly spoke
Something inside broke
Holding in your tears you choke
The pain created grew
Slowly but surely within you
No longer knowing what to do
You ran away without a clue
You didn't want to stay
In a place harming you every day
Afraid if you trust they will betray
You decided to hide away
All these experiences have taught you to be careful... and have made you doubtful. And now you are more cautious, more afraid that anyone who comes into your life will only hurt you like everyone else has.
