Trust Robber

A long time ago I was faithful
A long time ago I wasn't so hateful
A long time ago I was loyal --
But back then living wasn't so painful

A long time ago I obeyed you
I did everything you told me to
I should never have tried to upstage you
You're better than me and for that I hate you

You were stupid to interfere with my family,
And I was stupid to trust you with my sanity.
I know you're stronger than me on the inside
But all you've got now is your own life.

We should have stopped it all at the start
I should have wrapped bubblewrap around my heart
But you scared me into thinking I loved you
And still you question why I wanted us to part.

When you talk to me, I turn away
When you call me, I hang up the phone
When you write to me, I don't reply
I hope you like being on your own

You cornered me into shedding my innocence for you
You promised me that you would always be true
I lied to my family for your protection
You've screwed up way past any chance of correction

I know I'll never get back what you stole from me
I know I'll never be the same around my family
I know you never mean it when you say you're sorry
You've enjoyed creating all this pain and all this worry

So don't blame me if I cut the cord
Blame yourself for all the pain that you've caused
Don't hate me if I pull the trigger
Hate yourself for not acting quicker.
