Cut You Off

People showed their true colours and wonder why I got put off
People broke my heart and wonder why I'm shut off
The world on my shoulders was too heavy to just brush off
People handed me the scissors and wonder why they got cut off

I try to spread love, but I stay to myself while doing it
I'm tired of people saying they're loyal, when their actions aren't proving it
I'm done giving my heart to people because they all end up abusing it
If it's not good for my life or health, then I'm removing it 

I've trusted too many and I got hurt each time
Holding my 2 fingers up to those people, but I'm not giving them the peace sign 
Stabbed in the back, but I learned to survive with the sword in
I don't wish any bad on you, but I won't let your bad thoughts in

I've had many heartbreaks, but I've met Some great girls along the way
I grew up playing girls and removing a different girls thong a day
Even though I've been hurt, I've realized real love is better if you can find it
But you can't blame someone for your heartbreak if it was someone else behind it

I regret that getting girls into bed used to be my only mission
Depression made me push Chantal away, I spent many nights, lonely, wishing 
I miss her daily, but I still hope she's found happiness
It just sucks that depression had a hold of me, so when she offered me her love I couldn't capture it 

Sometimes people grow apart for reasons that shouldn't happen
I believe you should judge a person on their words and actions
There's only a few real people in this world of gimmicks
I had to cut a few people off because of their fake image

People showed their true colours and wonder why I got put off
People broke my heart and wonder why I'm shut off
The world on my shoulders was too heavy to just brush off
People handed me the scissors and wonder why they got cut off
