Hope is for Suckers
I'm not getting my hopes up.
I've had too many people speak flowery language into my life
only to make me feel like I'm the fool for believing their lies.
I'm not getting my hopes up.
Allowing you to have all the power
only to take it away at the last minute
and try to convince me that it didn't mean anything
or that it was all pretend.
I'm not getting my hopes up.
Because deep down,
I know you don't mean it.
I know you don't.
I know you,
and you don't.
I guess I'll continue to be your distraction,
your escape,
because I can only be the person you want me to be,
when you control me in your mind
and in your dreams.
