Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He made it so hard to trust someone (trust someone)
He made it so hard to fall in love (fall in love)
[Verse 2]
Not trying to mess up this relationship thinking
Cause the last man did me that way
You gon' do the same things I don't wanna be this way (way)
But I'm hoping you can change the way that I feel
Oh you see I trusted him with everything
Never held back anything
Thought we'd be together for the rest of our lives
Suddenly he took his love away and made it hard to trust again, oh
[Verse 3]
I know I been holding back but he really hurt me bad
I don't wanna take my past and put it all on you
I'm not tryna hold you back really hope you understand
I don't know what I'm gonna do
[Verse 4]
When I think of what he did to me
Makes it hard to fall in love
When I think about just what I need
It makes it hard to trust someone
Baby I gotta let go
Don't wanna miss out on love this time
Gotta leave those things behind
[Verse 5]
Whatever's your you call it ours send flowers
With love you keep me showered (but so did my ex man at first)
You see what started out so simple all flew out the window
There I go comparing you to him again
It keeps holding me down (I gotta let it go)
I wanna give love a chance (but you may never know)
Baby you can be the one for me yes the only one for me
And I don't wanna lose a good thing no
[Verse 6]
I know I been holding back but he really hurt me bad
I don't wanna take my past and put it all on you
I'm not tryna hold you back really hope you understand
I don't know what I'm gonna do
[Verse 7]
When I think of what he did to me
Makes it hard to fall in love
When I think I found just want I need
Makes it hard to trust someone
Baby I gotta let go
Don't wanna miss out on love this time
Gotta leave those things behind
[Verse 8]
Why disappointment (why)
Why heartbreak
Too many mistakes in love I've made
I can't go with all this baggage thinking he's gonna have it
See I know I'm being selfish but I gotta let it go
Close that chapter close that book
Faith and love is all it ever took
That's why I never gave up and I never gave in
Cause I know true love is waiting for me again
[Verse 9]
I know I been holding back but he really hurt me bad
I don't wanna take my past and put it all on you
I'm not trying to hold you back really hope you understand
I don't know what I'm gonna do
[Verse 10]
Every time I think of what he did to me
Makes it hard to fall in love
When I think I found just want I need
Makes it hard to trust someone
Baby I gotta let go
Don't wanna miss out on love this time
Gotta leave those things behind
[Verse 11]
He made it so hard to trust someone (trust someone)
He made it so hard to fall in love (fall in love)
