Being Let Down

 Being Let Down  

  

I’m a pro at being let down, I’ve been let down and screwed over since forever...  

People that were supposed to be there, supposed to love me...  

Ghosting me or turning on me, so many knives in my back it’s a miracle I’m still standing, so I can’t do that to you, never...  

I’m in the same boat as you, afraid to trust, afraid to get hurt, afraid because you make me feel free!  

  

Being let down, being betrayed, being left to dig myself out, that's how I ended up this strong...  

But I’m human, I still want someone to love, that loves me, that I can be with, I want you because you feel like home...  

I ended up here, so far from where I started, driven here by being let down, and now it makes sense, I was being led to you all along...  

I found my home, it wasn’t a place but a soul, your soul, I no longer have to roam!  

  

I know you’re scared to let me close, scared I’ll hurt you like the rest...  

I promise, that’s not me, I’m just as scared as you...  

But these feelings are bigger, stronger, than any fear I have, putting everything to the test...  

This is our chance to have the one person that gets it, that knows what abandonment feels like... it’s time for something new!  

  

No more being let down by the one you love!
