Only for a Day

Everyone means what they say
But only for the span of a day
Before they forget and move on
And leave you forgotten

Everyone has good intentions
Until they really want something
And will do anything to get it
Ignoring all other reason

Everyone wants to help you out
But they all disappear
Like snow in the fall
It barely even sticks

So I move on begrudgingly 
Not trusting a single soul
But the one that is inside me
Because everyone means well

Only for a day
