Learn To Love

I've given my heart once before,
When someone promised I'd hurt no more.
But they were wrong and that was a lie,
The pain was intense and I wanted to die.

Tell me can you make me feel,
That your feelings are truly real?
Can you guarantee with more that words,
That you can give what I deserve?

I'm not perfect and of that I'm sure,
I hate myself and there's no cure.
But please don't make me believe you care,
If when I call, you wont be there.

I no longer know how to trust,
But I want to learn and I must.
Because I can't forever hide away from affection,
All because I'm afraid of rejection.
