I thought,
With the assurance you gave,
That happily-ever-after
Was finally within my reach.
I was finally going to be happy,
Be able to trust without worry,
Able to be confident in the love
You promised to me.
When will I learn my lesson?
A path of broken promises,
Shattered dreams,
A battle-scarred heart,
Follow me wherever I go�
I can�t outrun my past,
I can�t look forward to a future,
And the present is too painful�
I�ve been through this fire
Over and over again,
And with every scathing wound,
My heart grows harder,
The fortress made stronger�
Someday, it�ll be too late,
It�ll be too strong to penetrate�
Than I�ll have learned my lesson.
