Love For the Moment
People only love you for the moment
As soon as times get hard they become opponents
I don't trust a soul, I'm okay being alone
People taking shots at me, became my comfort zone
Fake love, fake friends, fake hugs, fake loyalty
If you're going to judge at least do it lawfully
I been through hell, the devil is avoiding me
Battled depression and won, imagine thinking I'd be scared of you wanting to go to war with me
I trust none and I fear less
Every obstacle that came my way has back tracked
Depression is still recovering from our last match
Travelled dark paths alone and haven't been scared yet
Dad never gave me a hug, my mother didn't either
That why when you see me, I'm staying distant and giving neither
Parents put me in care, imagine thinking I won't survive without you
You're okay with Living a lie but I won't hide the truth
Little did I know I was being pulled up by a rope of sadness
Age 17 I took an overdose of tablets
Woke in hospital, And told myself, I had to be my own protection
Since that day, every mistake I've made has been used as a lesson
Made it this far by myself I don't need a friend
Battles demons that would destroy most people
Never asked for a hand, cause that's something most people won't even lend
Thanks to all the fake friends for proving I don't need you
Knife in my back, But it became my favourite feeling
Kill them with kindness, so I laugh at those who left me bleeding
People only love you for the moment
As soon as times turn bad, they become opponents
