Some lessons don't come with words. They come with scars. Never trust too fast… Never trust too fast, hearts can turn to stone, People say they got you, then they leave you on your own. I gave you all my faith, you turned my faith to pain, Now every time I love, I question it again. Never trust too fast, every smile can hide a scar, Some will hold you close while they know they'll break your heart. I learned it through the tears, I learned it through the past, Love can feel forever… but forever never lasts. I gave them pieces of me I could never get back, Put my trust in their hands, they put a knife in my back. I believed every promise, every word, every vow, Funny how forever can mean nothing somehow. They were there in the sunshine, disappeared in the rain, Only called when they needed me, then vanished again. I was blind to the signs 'cause I wanted them real, Sometimes hope is the reason you refuse what you feel. I carried their secrets while they carried my name, Told the world I was crazy when they started the blame. I don't hate them today, but I'll never forget, Some wounds stop bleeding but they never leave yet. So I keep my distance, I don't open the door, I've been broken by people I was fighting for. Never trust too fast, hearts can turn to stone, People say they got you, then they leave you on your own. I gave you all my faith, you turned my faith to pain, Now every time I love, I question it again. Never trust too fast, every smile can hide a scar, Some will hold you close while they know they'll break your heart. I learned it through the tears, I learned it through the past, Love can feel forever… but forever never lasts. Now I walk through the city with my thoughts in the dark, Every face looks familiar, but I don't know their hearts. I don't tell them my story, I don't show them my fears, 'Cause the ones who know your weakness know exactly where to tear. I became my own shelter when the whole world went cold, Had to learn that being lonely isn't worse than being sold. I would rather walk alone than be surrounded by lies, Rather sleep with my pain than be loved by disguise. They said, "You changed," yeah, maybe I did, Pain teaches lessons that innocence hid. I don't give out my trust just because someone stays, I watch what they do, not the things that they say. Maybe I'm distant, maybe I'm scarred, Maybe I built these walls way too hard. But every brick has a story to tell, Every goodbye left a piece in the shell. I still believe that somebody is true, I just won't lose myself trying to prove it to you. If you want my heart, you don't have to swear, Just stay when it's dark… and show me you're there. Never trust too fast, hearts can turn to stone, People say they got you, then they leave you on your own. I gave you all my faith, you turned my faith to pain, Now every time I love, I question it again. Never trust too fast, every smile can hide a scar, Some will hold you close while they know they'll break your heart. I learned it through the tears, I learned it through the past, Love can feel forever… but forever never lasts. I've forgiven some people I could never forget, Not because they deserve it, but to bury regret. I stopped asking the question, "Why wasn't I enough?" Sometimes giving your all still ain't enough for their love. Now I move with a silence that they don't understand, I don't need their approval, I don't need their hand. If you walk out tomorrow, I won't beg you to stay, I've already lost myself once, I won't do it again today. And if somebody comes with a heart that's sincere, I'll give them my time, but they'll earn their way here. 'Cause trust isn't words, and love isn't fast, It's built in the moments that are hardest to last. Never trust too fast, hearts can turn to stone, People say they got you, then they leave you on your own. I gave you all my faith, you turned my faith to pain, Now every time I love, I question it again. Never trust too fast, every smile can hide a scar, Some will hold you close while they know they'll break your heart. I learned it through the tears, I learned it through the past, Love can feel forever… but forever never lasts. So if I walk alone, Don't think I'm lost. I just learned the difference between love… and what love costs. Never trust too fast… Never trust too fast…
