This One's For You, Baby

Once spoken
Words cannot be so easily taken back
Once whispered
Promises cannot be so easily forgotten
Once lied to
People can never learn to trust again
Once broken
Hearts cannot ever be repaired

And they wonder why
I'm so lonely
They wonder why
I write these words
Maybe if they'd
All stop leaving
The pain wouldn't
Ever hurt

They wonder why
I grow so attached
They wonder why
I become so afraid
Maybe if he'd just
Think to listen
The pain would
Just go away
