I told you how I felt,
But you turned the other cheek.
I was basically rejected.
I feel so small, so very weak.
I found the reason why I always keep to myself.
I hate this feeling of pain
Of being rejected like I'm not good enough.
This will happen never again.
I'm tired of letting people in.
I'm tired of being alone.
I'm tired of being rejected and hurt.
This is it; that feeling's gone.
I'm not gonna let you in.
I'm not gonna let you see my tears fall.
I'm not gonna let you see me hurt.
I'm not gonna let you bring me down most of all.
I told you how I felt
Because I wanted you to know,
But apparently you would never feel the same,
So I guess it's time for me to go.
I met him this year while I was in the process of leaving an abusive relationship. We met on a dating app and became besties. We told each other everything. Long story short, he lied to me...
Tears No More
