Once They Told Me

Once they told me long ago
That I would only be alone
So, I pushed them all away
So that no one would ever know

Once they told me long ago
That I was wrong, and it would show
So, I kept the fear all to myself
Let it tear me to the bone

Once they told me long ago
That I was healthy from head to toe
So, I let disorder eat me away
They know me better, I suppose

Once they told me long ago
That I had everything, high to low
So my sadness had no name
And I choose to suffer so

Once they told me long ago
That they “really just don’t know”
So my purpose ceased to exist
And all the doors, I’ve closed

Once they told me long ago
All the things against I hoped
And so I believe all the thoughts inside my head
Because I know that they are so

Once they told me not long ago
I deserved the world and so
I shut the door with words filled with lies
And hope the hope will go
