(Verse 1)
Once upon a time, I believed in every word,
I trusted every soul, everything I heard.
But as the days turned into years,
I saw through the façade the hidden tears.
I was played like a puppet on a string,
By those who sought to do me in.
Manipulators, weaving their lies,
Leaving scars that never truly die.
(Pre-Chorus)
But I’ve forgiven, though I can’t forget,
The pain they caused, the regrets I’ve met.
Now, when I see them coming ’round,
I dodge them like a bullet, no longer bound.
(Chorus)
Once beaten, twice shy,
I’ve learned the hard way I won’t comply.
No longer gullible, no longer naive,
I see through the tricks, I won’t believe.
(Verse 2)
I’ve learned to be wary, to trust with care,
For not everyone’s intentions are fair.
If you want to know me if you want to see,
Reach out to me, as I’ve reached out to thee.
But if you can’t be a straight shooter, my friend,
Then please, just leave me be; let this be the end.
I won’t fall for lies, I won’t play the game,
I’ve found my voice; I won’t be the same.
(Pre-Chorus)
Once beaten, twice shy,
I’ve learned the hard way I won’t comply.
No longer gullible, no longer naive,
I see through the tricks, I won’t believe.
(Chorus)
Once beaten, twice shy,
I’ve learned the hard way I won’t comply.
No longer gullible, no longer naive,
I see through the tricks, I won’t believe.
(Outro)
So if you want my trust, if you want my heart,
Be honest, be true, right from the start.
But if you can’t, if you choose to deceive,
Just know, my friend, I won’t be deceived.
