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.
