Broken Future

by Lulu   Jul 28, 2005


Before you, I trusted no one
I kept it all to myself
It just seemed easier
But I didn't know any better

Before you, I was so held down
I could barely look at myself
Knowing what was behind this face
I couldn't stand it all

Before you, I was lost
I didn't know what to do about anything
Maybe thats why I broke
I couldn't stand it anymore

Before you, no one ever knew
Not about the drugs or the hate
Not about the scars or the rape
Now you know everything

Before you, I was hopeful
That there was someone to trust
I thought that someone was you
I told you everything

Before you, I could have kept quiet
Instead I let one secret slip
One led to another, soon I was empty
I trusted you, and only you

Before you, I had to deal with life alone
I thought you were going to help me
Instead you broke me
You broke my trust

The thing that mattered the most
The words that I kept hidden
Everything I was afraid of
Was a secret, Before you

After you, I can never trust again
You have showed me greater pain then ever before
You took MY secrets and made them everyone's
I was better off alone, Before you.
