It’s so hard for me to feel this way again,
Which is why I’m being so cautious,
I’m keeping my guard up,
And taking things step by step.
I hope things are different this time,
I hope I don’t get my heart broken a thousand times,
I hope I’m happy,
I hope I can smile and mean it,
I hope I can laugh and have it come from my heart,
I hope I can be strong,
And I hope I’ll feel safe.
I hope you won’t cut me with your words,
I hope you love me for me,
I hope you won’t judge me,
I hope you won’t change,
I hope you’ll treat me right,
I hope you won’t hurt me,
And I hope you’ll always be there to hold and protect me.
