Jaded

When you hurt that deep

When the knifes that sharp

When the arrow's aimed right for your heart

When you trust enough to let him in

Then the games begin

When the stakes are just a bit too high

And danger is waiting to take away your innocence

It's not you, It's me

It's just

I'm jaded enough to keep up my defenses

I never thought it could happen to me

I'm a cynical girl

Seeing life through the lenses so I don't get hurt again

Jaded I am

I'm talking to myself how could this be

No one's ever made a fool of me

No one's had the power, held the key to open up that door

Then slam it in a blink, in a fatal twist

Turned inside out I live with this

Day in, Day out

I must begin again

But

Trusting in no one is no way to go on

I know, I know, I know

Someone tell my heart that bleeds on and on

How could I ever take a lover into my trembling arms

oh
