Array ( [sid] => 82221 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I understand now [time] => 2005-01-30 21:43:27 [hometext] => I understood what you meant when it happened to me. [bodytext] => I now understand why you said what you said
Why you told me those things lying in bed
I understand now why you trust only a few
I finally realize that they only want to hurt you
They like to hurt you, kick you when you’re down
They can look down and laugh, and not even frown
I wondered at first, but now I realize a heart they lack
They smile at you, and then stab you in the back
They pretend to be there for you through it all
They say they will help you whenever you fall
It’s not true, all they tell is a lie
I often sit down and begin to wonder why
They are so nice and wonderful friends at the start
Until you open up you lives and let them into your heart
When you are sure they are there for whatever you go through
That is when they look at you and say “I have someone new”
I was there for you but not anymore
Now I am kicking you out of the door
It breaks a heart more when you trust and then lose
It hurts more than any cut or bruise
I don’t see why people choose to act this way
Just hang on, it will be better someday
Even though a lot of people act like that
I’m asking you to trust me, I’ve got your back
I don’t have it to hurt or cause pain
I’ve got it in the sun and I’ve got it in the rain
Don’t look at me like everyone else
I’ll be there when you need any help
I don’t trust many, I trust very few
I trust me, one of my true friends, and you
Hopefully I’ll get lucky and you’ll trust me back
I’ll be there when it seems everything is black
I am there through all good and bad
I will do my best to never make you sad
I’ll be there when you need someone to hold
Money doesn’t matter because my love can’t be sold
It can’t be bought at Kroger’s or Wal-Mart
The only way to get it is to go through my heart
I still don’t understand why people treat you the way I do
All I know is that I am here for you
