That's what I get for thinking

Brittany Stroud 1989 (TX)



I thought i could trust you
I thought you were real
I thought you would care
About the way i feel
I tried to be what u wanted.
I tried to let you in
I tried so.god damn hard
And failed at everything in the end.
I couldnt make you love me
I couldnt make you change
I couldnt makw you happy
And i lost my shit just the same
I send you angry text over and over because im so pissed
I cant make myself let it go
I wanto act like you dont exist.
I cant make it go.away
Because you made me believe you would be there
Now i just look over but theew isnt anyone there....
You changed up on me and now im left broken...
I didnt matter at all
Im left here sad and confused
Wondering what i did wrong
Maybe it wont always feel this way
Maybe ill be happy again
Maybe ill just give up for now in this game i couldnt win
