Thought I could trust her

Thought I could call her mine

Finally some family, a sister by my side

Thought that I knew her

Thought we were close

But that was just an illusion: blood mistaken for rose

Thought I could count on her

But turns out I can't

The seed of love I sowed never grew into a plant

Thought she could be another reason I'd be happy

Yet I'm crying tears of pain while she is sleeping soundly

Three years she had me fooled by her gentle way of speaking

Thought she cared but she was just faking

Fickle are relationships; always seem what they aren't

Drown you in with their vacant, cold currents without a regard

Every sister I turn to has a new way to hurt

And I am a fool to never learn to keep alert

Selfish in their youthful prime

They all offer love that is sublime

Every time I think it'll be different, they prove me wrong

It's funny how it's always a different scenario but the same song

I'm tired of fighting for love--it's just wrong

It's time to fuck trying to have a family and trying to belong

I'll rather learn to breathe without support like I did before we met

Than hole up alone and drown in pointless self-blame and regret

Love me from afar if you must, but don't ever get close

Or else I swear this time my fire will burn you whole

Fooled me once, fooled me twice

There will never be a third time

You do you, I'll do me

Your final blow has set me free.
