I’m not gonna let you screw me over one more time

I know I can be bitter

And you think I should know better but

I’m only human

And I’m not the type to hold a grudge

But some things I can’t let budge

Because I’m only human

Did you just not know or even care?

Think I don’t see through your cold icy stare

And as soon as my back’s turned I bet you’re laughing

I’m not gonna let you screw me over one more time

Wish I could see through every one of your infuriating lies

Don’t try to be intelligent

Saying this was just an accident

All of my patience’s spent for your

Artificial ignorance

Maybe it was an honest mistake

How did things escalate?

I guess you’re just like me; and I’m only human

And maybe I could forgive and forget

But I’m just not ready to do that yet because

I’m only human

Fool me once; that’s shame on you

Fool me twice; that’s shame on me

And don’t expect me to give you another chance

You keep raising red flags

I’ve only got white ones to fly

I guess that’s probably why I’m treated like a doormat

And I try to see the best in people

But I guess you’re just pure evil

And maybe I’d sleep better if I never had to think of you again

I’m not gonna let myself get screwed over another time

Until the next one comes along and I naively say “I’ll try”

I swear this happens every time

Why do I keep turning a blind eye?

I’ve gotta get over my

Artificial ignorance
