Spare Yourself the Misery

Don't get too happy
It'll never last
Don't you remember
Like the rest in the past

You trusted them when
They said they'd stay
So stupid and hopeless 
But now you pay

You pay everyday
With your fake smile
You thought they would stay
At least for awhile 

They never stay
Someone eventually gets tired
No matter what
Your time together has now expired

They will always leave
So put up your wall
The only thing they love
Is when you fall
