I trusted you I let you in
I truly believed you were my best friend
I told you things no one else had known
Showed sides of myself that had never been shown
Then came the day you opened my eyes
I began to see through your incredible lies
You betrayed my trust in an unspeakable way
Then you were gone forever without a word to say
I can't even ask you why you did those things
Or make you realize the pain that it brings
All those things you made me believe
I can't comprehend how I was so na�ve
How did I allow you to get under my skin
How did my defenses become so thin
I can only see one way to win
Never will I trust again
Put up my blocks and build a wall
Hide when someone comes to call
Alienate myself from the outside world
Allow my solitude to be unfurled
