Hard To Trust Again

Hard To Trust Again

You walked in with a stranger’s smile

Too kind, too sweet — it made me freeze for a while

I used to welcome hearts with open doors

Now I keep the lights dim, and bolt the floors

They broke me when I wasn’t looking

Told me love, then left me ruined

Now every hand that reaches out

Feels like a shadow filled with doubt

It’s not your fault, but still I flinch

My heart still caught in someone’s grip

It’s hard to trust again

When the last one wore a friend’s name

When “forever” turned to lies

And I drowned in my own cries

I want to hope, but it’s too soon

Still healing under a shattered moon

I wish I could let someone in

But it’s hard… so hard to trust again

You say the right words, soft and slow

But I’ve heard “I love you” break me before

Your touch is warm, your eyes sincere

But I still hear ghosts whisper in my ear

They taught me love could twist a blade

In the hands of the ones who stayed

Now kindness feels like it’s disguised

And I’m scared to believe my own eyes

I’m tired of pushing hearts away

But afraid of who they’ll be someday

It’s hard to trust again

When the last one wore a friend’s name

When “forever” turned to lies

And I drowned in my own cries

I want to hope, but it’s too soon

Still healing under a shattered moon

I wish I could let someone in

But it’s hard… so hard to trust again

Don’t take it personal, this fear I feel

It's not your fault that my scars won’t heal

I want to believe you’re not the same

But every love starts with a name

It’s hard to trust again

But I’m still reaching with shaking hands

If you stay, don’t let me fall

Don’t become just another wall

I’ll try to hope, I’ll try to mend

Though I don’t know where to begin

It’s hard… so hard to trust again

But maybe with you… I can

Maybe with you…

I can trust again...
