You Live and You Learn

You live and you learn and I have learned from my mistakes Too caught up in love that all I did was give and he would just take Seeing him happy would make me happy so I didn’t expect a thing I loved him so much; I thought I was supposed to treat him as a king So I was the lady that would do for him as in cook, clean and bake I was a hopeless romantic and I didn’t want to believe love was fake I thought being a good girlfriend would make a relationship last Through my experiences I learned to leave that theory in the past Because too many times, I end up hurt and left with a broken heart I now have an understanding of why most relationships fall apart Too many people in love are getting played and being mistreated So cupid can strike at me all he wants but I won’t be defeated No longer will I be the girl I use to be, which ended up being the victim I been hurt so bad but I cried it out and got it out of my system What they say is true: Once a good girl gone bad, she’s gone forever So the next time I get left with a broken heart will be never Because this last time was the last time, now I have nothing to lose Instead of being the one that gets played, he will be the one to get used I know it’s wrong to let another man pay for someone else’s mistake But I learned that all men are the same so that’s the risk I will take My safe place is when I am not in a relationship and I’m better alone So the next man can try but he will just be placed in the friend zone Life is sad that it has to come to this point, but I’m just being real From now on, I am going to do for me and not care how they will feel I cared so much for others but now I’m going to live life to benefit me I learned from my past and vow to never be the good girl I use to be
