Was Taught Well Enough

As your gentle words draw me near
quickly they fall, bleeding
into this air thickened with lies
your life’s manipulated
then again, so is mine
born to cross
even the hardest lines
was taught well enough
to at least try
always dig too deep
a heart so hard headed
as i searched for love
so far down to get it
was taught well enough
to know I’m all i’ll ever have
u might think im wrong
im better off perhaps
i can see so close
as you fade to black
I’ve been against the ropes
at least it has my back
this world can be so dead and cold
I’m on my second wind
at first you blew it out
but now i breathe again
was taught well enough
to see my mistakes
to never judge
the fuel for hate
so much love
was taught well enough
so much for love
i think i’ve fell enough
