A Rose With Thorns

I was so naïve and childish

So stupid and dumb

That I fell for a bad boy

Then he used me like a toy

 

Every day he would say he loved me

And act as sweet as a rose

But all roses have thorns

And I just got pricked by one

 

Anytime I saw him

My heart skipped a beat

And I screamed with joy

But now I know I made a mistake

And I’m not sure my heart even works anymore

 

He said he would never hurt me

And hurt anyone that did

But now he’s caused me to eternally bleed

And I feel my heart seize

 

My friends always told me

To think with my head

And not that thing in my chest

And now that thing in my chest

Is causing me so much pain

That can never be taken away

 

I feel so betrayed

And full of rage

But the only person I blame

…is myself

 

I was stupid enough

To fall for the wrong boy

And that’s why today

I can finally say

Boys are so so dumb!
