You must have forgotten I ain’t a quitter 
I bleed sugar and syrup
Can’t hurt what is already broken 
No words even need to be spoke 
All your lies I have already heard
May be I was just a toy for your amusement 
Abusing and confusing my feelings for safety 
But I greatly appreciate the lesson you taught me 
Your the reason I don’t do affection 
I am tired of loving you 
I should have never trusted my heart 
I was doomed from the start 
Every part of me said to walk away 
But my feelings screamed please stay 
You played with my emotions 
Sending me through the motions 
Did I really forget who I was 
Or just high on filling that missing piece 
All the words written and wishes can’t change this 
I forgot i’m a warrior 
I got caught in your eyes 
Between all the lies 
I’ve seen pain 
But I can’t explain this emotion 
This explosion 
That just keeps goin
You were a drug I couldn’t quit 
I am a survivor 
I guess no one told you 
You thought you could controlled me 
But I found my armor 
A former love went sour 
Because you were the coward 
Powered by your feelings 
I promised never to leave 
But you promised never to hurt me
You demolished my heart 
Leaving me where I started
Heartless in the Darkness 
Of what I thought was love 
Above all else I learned who you were
And I promise never to fall again
Maybe we were just a sin 
But I refuse to wipe another tear 
Cause I know your somewhere with a smile 
I really hoped you were different 
But I guess not all fairy tales have a happy ending....
