Let You In

I should have never let you in,
second chances often still end in pain.
Forgiving you,
well that's something that I just can't do.
I am just not strong enough to face you,
without tears running down my face.
Maybe one day my strength will return,
but right now everything I once had crashed & burned.
I should have trusted my gut inside,
I should have never let you lie.
Now here I am, for the thousandth time again,
wishing I would have never let you in.
You tear me apart, with lies and false hopes.
While the pain from the past scars you made,
slowly unravel all the emotions I've tried to save.
It's hard to believe how we were so close,
and now we couldn't be further apart.
It's hard to believe how happy I used to be,
and now I am fading away from me.
All because instead of your daughter,
you chose another.
Given all the damage you've done,
I still let you in, it's a weakness I have.
But I'll get stronger, that's a promise.
I've made it this long without you,
and I've realized I can't ever let you in.
