Hurt

I've been alone for way too long
I've walked the path of doubt too many times.
I need someone to show me the way
to tell me everything will be ok
and in whatever I do, just believe in me
I want someone to care
to see through the smile I've painted
and realize how I really feel
so that they can help me be a better person
I've walked the path of rejection again and again.
I've memorized the way
but I don't know how to escape
I don't believe it's too late
it's never too late.
I can do this
but I want someone to lead me
take me to safety
so I don't end up getting hurt
like I have so many times before
