Lexi Thomas Poet Lyric

Misplaced Trust

Pressing your lips
Against my own
It feels so right
Even if it's so wrong


Too young to know
Too young to understand
I thought I was grown
Could make decisions on my own


You took advantage
Of my weakened mind
And preyed on other lovers
Time after time


I let myself believe
That just for one moment
You truly loved me
But boy, was I ever wrong
And here you are, well, 
In one of my poems


You hurt me
Worse than anyone I've known
You let me believe in the lie
We together had sewn
The familiar tingle 
Of your touch
God, baby,
It was almost too much


Too young to know
Too young to understand
I thought I was grown
Could make decisions on my own


You took advantage
Of my weakened mind
And preyed on other lovers
Time after time


Was your love a lie?
Was it all a dream?
Did I imagine
The whole thing?
The way you hurt me,
It was almost unreal
Babe, these wounds
Still need time to heal


You keep coming back
Wanting more
And again and again 
I open up, like a goddamn sore
I bleed for you
You don't bleed for me
Oh babe, please
Just set me free
Because I was


Too young to know
Too naive to understand
That this situation
Had got out of hand


For many years
I loved you
And let you take advantage  
While you still preyed
On other lovers
Time and time again.
