Trust


Truth gets you killed.

Lies keep you built.

But give me the love you need

And you will no longer bleed.

 

I told you, im not with that cuffin'

But you knew I was bluffin,

You said you will never hurt me

but then you deserted me.

 

For all you have done 

Hold you let me put my hair up in a bun

Or wait should I bite my tongue.

before i come undone
