To Every Failed Attempt

To every failed attempt
I got something to say
So listen up
I don't blame you entirely
Although you let your past cloud your judgment
I can understand why
I know it's hard to trust after you've been taken advantage of
Lie after lie
I know it's hard to give yourself to someone else
After the last person said they had your best interest at heart but didn't
I know what it feels like to be cheated on wondering
Why you weren't good enough
I know
I know
I know
But fuck all that
You came in fucked up and in the end just fucked me up
I gave you a piece of me that I can never get back
No return to sender
Oops
I messed up
I was the one left saying what the fuck
While you blamed your actions on every bitch that did you wrong
You led me on lied and snatched every ounce of self worth
I had leaving me empty
Second guessing became first nature
So I know what it's like to have your heart ripped to pieces
Difference is I fuckin tried
And you didn't
Even when my heart was barely beating
I held my breath so you could catch yours
I sat down so you could stand tall
I crawled so you could walk
Somehow none of that was good enough
But why not
I guess next time I'll just blame my inability
To love on every failed attempt
Because that seems to be the reoccurring cop out
