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
