Trust Myself

Trusting my intuition and ingenuity after so being used for so long.

Verse 1-

I didn’t need another lesson how to trust no one

I didn’t want to see the tracks again where they’ve all run

Away

Away

I’ve heard all of the reasons so there’s no need to explain

Even though you leave me lonely I am friends with that old pain

Hey

Hey-ay

You knew these things about me yet you knocked upon my door

You whispered that you loved me then you left me on the floor

Oh-oh

Oh, you told me you were different

And you told me you were kind

You told me that I needed someone

Who could sympathize

You rocked me back to sleep

And then you crept into my mind

Then I saw you in the nightmare

That I’ve had a thousand times

For what are dreams but all our tales

Told from another side

I’ll find the map amidst my scars

And know how to survive

Survive

 

Chorus-

I’m breaking free from the maze

It circled back every time

If you want someone to trust you

Then you really shouldn’t lie

I’m running, running to the beat

I finally feel inside

And after every lesson learned

I think I’ll simply trust myself

This time

 

Trust myself this time

 

Thanks to you, I’ll come to only trust myself in time

 

Verse 2-

I guess I thought it was normal to be raised

Tryna always second guess, and see past the haze

Aye

And after every single time, it burned in my soul

Another reason why a gal should never show

Ohh-oh

Any feeling, deep or dark, or plain elated

For whatever touched the heart’s manipulated

And I hated

How I want to think it’s better

How I want to think they change

Well I’m done with this denial

Cherry picking what is plain

And if I need someone to cry on

I’ve two shoulders just the same

When I tell you I’m a realist

You say I’m jaded for my age

You say that love is better lost

Than never had, well that’s a shame

Guess I’d have to disagree

But I’m not sure, we’ll see

You better watch me…

 

Chorus-

I’m breaking free from the maze

It circled back every time

If you want someone to trust you

Then you really shouldn’t lie

I’m running, running to the beat

I finally feel inside

And after every lesson learned

I think I’ll simply trust myself

This time

 

Trust myself this time

 

Thanks to you, I’ll come to only trust myself in time

 

Author's Note

Too jaded and angry for the type of song it would probably be? (acoustic guitar and a clear, female voice)
