Do I stop believing?
Do I stop believing in love?
I tore all my walls down,
the first time I tried it,
it bruised me,
it destroyed me.

Do I stop believing in destiny?
I let it lead me,
and the first time I went with the flow,
I couldn't handle the current,
I fell in too deep.
I ran out of breath.

Do I stop believing in good people?
I gave my heart to one,
and for the first time, I got to hear
my heart shutter into a thousand pieces.
The sound disturbed my senses,
I'm not sure if they'll ever heal.

Do I stop believing in myself?
I was so sure that I felt something,
but trusting my heart for the first time
lead me to unimaginable pain.

Do I stop believing in life?
Because it's all about love, right?
But I'm not sure if love
meant that one never stops hurting.
That one never finds rest
tortured by the love
they thought they felt.

You had my heart,
the most precious jewel
that I was too careless to give.
I let you in
and you used the first door you saw
to get out.
You knew how much I loved you,
you lied and said you felt the same.
I believed you,
I believed love.
I believed wrong.
