It’s strange how people hurt you
Telling all their lies
Keeping all their secrets
Sharpening their knives
Whispering to others
Plotting your demise.

It’s strange how you trust people
At least, you do at first.
Until they’ve hurt you so many times
That you believe you’re cursed
Then they say that you were tricked
And that part is the worst.

It’s strange how someone loves you
And says he’s always there
Then, one day he’s gone
And it doesn’t seem fair
That you were true, and he was not
Did he even care?

The years go by, and it still hurts
But you don’t say a word
You stay away from everyone
Because you can’t be sure
No one can be trusted
At least that’s what you’ve heard

You see yourself becoming
The person that he was
You say it’s all okay
It’s what everybody does
But then you never do it
Don’t know why; just because

So strange that you’ve been healed
All it took was time,
A person who was there for you
(Who didn’t give you lines
Hugged you when you needed it
And made sure you were fine),

A belief that you would be okay
Even if you died
Even if your world ended
Even if you cried
Because you knew he loved you
And he would never lie.
