Lies

Trust me, he said
I've earned it
Believe me, he said
it gets better

Don't love me, he said
it's only going to hurt
Don't want me, he said
I'm too damaged

All he said were lies
Only I didn't know it
Too late I see
Promises were broken

Take my money
take my trust
take my faith
and flush it down

Take my fear
take my pain
take my hatred
and flush it down

Do they see what I've done?
Do they know what I've become?
Can I save myself from this?
Where did I go wrong?

Comfort
I can only find in them
the ones I see daily
the ones I pray for safety
the ones who look up to me
But I'm empty
