Armor
I don't like vulnerability
When I fall, I fall hard
So I don't let myself
You knew this, and you said I was safe
But you didn't catch me
Some things are red flags
And you threw all of them up
If someone said they were being treated like this
I'd say run
Oh, doesn't distance makes it easier to see?
I put you first
Before everything
Before myself
You let me see a future
Then you took that away from me
I don't know how I should feel
I never know how to feel
You cry
I scoff
Because anger is safer for me than sadness
You fooled me, that's for sure
But don't think it'll happen again
It's people like you that forge my armor
It's people like you that build my walls
I've been hurt before
But your blades can't wound
Or at least if they do, I'll never let myself feel them
I may not be strong
But I am as hard as a diamond
And you can chip at me all you want
But I will always be priceless
