People In Love Get Everything Wrong

by Jenni Marie   Jul 22, 2008


{Don't you think its true...}

They carelessly let down their guards
No longer protecting fragile hearts
So foolishly starting to trust others
Only to later be completely torn apart

{They get everything so very wrong}

Stupidly believing in a fairytale
Days suddenly shining so bright
Not realizing smiles will be replaced
With frozen tears on lonely nights

{Giving someone power to destroy them}

Their hearts once so light and pure
Now cracking apart at the seams
Hours sat silently staring at the phone
Now living in a world of broken dreams

{What happened...they used to be strong}

Pictures used to bring heartfelt smiles
Now all they bring is pain and tears
Wondering what happened to their love
Wondering why it just disappeared

{Trusted in you...I got it all wrong}

Wishing only to have their hearts back
Constantly wishing to finally be free
Love that once seemed so very real
Has now left them in endless misery

{Let down my guard, I let you in}

Completely broken now, frozen inside
Yet tears still pour from these eyes
Plastering a fake shiny smile in place
Wondering why they said goodbye

{Know now I'll never get over you}

One person who made them euphoric
Is now the one causing all the pain
Used to feel so secure and complete
Now left all alone to go insane

{Are you proud? You killed me within}
