Opened That Door

I let you in
And I wish I never did
I built these walls to protect my soul
Brick by brick from the hurt I know
Took years to heal, years to trust
But I believed in you, thought you were safe enough
I gave you access to the parts I hide
The broken pieces of sleepless nights
Showed you scars I never let nobody see
And you turned around, used them all on me
Funny how quick the love turns cold
Our secrets get heavy in the wrong hands to hold
I dropped my guard, I let you inside
Now I'm left with the pieces of a love that lied

I opened the door
And you walked through just to break me more
Trusted your hands but you carried knives I ain't seen before
I gave you the key to my soul
You turned my safe place into war
I should have never let you close
I should have never opened the door

I shared my prayers, my fears, my plans
Thought you'd stand beside me, thought you'd understand
But every win I had, you made it feel small
And when I slipped, you were first to watch me fall
I thought loyalty was something you knew
But loyalty don't live in you
You smiled in my face while you cut me down
Now I see the truth, you were poison all along

I ain't mad, I love, I ain't mad, I believed
Ain't mad I gave you trust, ain't mad I gave you me

I opened the door
And you walked through just to break me more
Trusted your hands but you carried knives I ain't seen before
I gave you the key to my soul
You turned my safe place into war
I should have never let you close
I should have never opened the door

Next time I'll guard my heart
Next time I'll guard my peace
Cause not everybody I let in
Was ever meant for me
