Pretense Versus Truth Once I believed in you, now I wonder why I wanted to trust you, when you left me to die I used to believe in you, I used to be on your side But you used me and abused me, you stripped me of my pride It makes me wonder now, what made me trust you before I was stupid to have come back wanting for more Now I've opened my eyes, now I see It is better to walk away from you and just be me You are my pretentious side, the walls I built up not to be hurt Instead I ended being treated like dirt I was blinded by my foolishness, I flirted with the lies Now I'm feeling nothing for myself but despise Now I cast you away, like I should have years ago You are the #life that I never wish to show Now I'm changed, I'm loyal and true I am doing better now, without you And so you see, it's better to be honest and feel pain Than pretend and lie because there is nothing to gain
