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
