How could you hurt me

How could you hurt me so?
You blew hot and cold,
left me unable to trust me,
and unable to trust another.
It hurt when you went,
and not once did you say
I love you, baby, see you soon.

How could you hurt me so?
You pulled that gun out,
you wanted to kill us all,
and you were so, so drunk.
How can I trust another,
that I won't get hurt again,
that my trust won't be crushed.

How could you hurt me so?
That I had to make up for it
in slowly destroying myself.
I wasn't worth your time,
you laughed at my weaknesses,
but I tried, I really tried,
again and again and again.

How could you hurt me so?
I am still hurting, and trying,
to get your love and attention.
I am a good girl really,
I wish you would see it too.
Instead you turn away, and
pretend you can't see my pain.

How could you hurt me so?
You left me deflated, and
full of hurt and emptiness.
It is so hard to fill the hole
you tore from my body,
when you rejected me again,
and again and again.

How could you hurt me so?
The protector, you were weak,
you did not deserve us.
The confusion you left behind
it was so easy to walk away,
You left so little, and it's so hard,
to give that little I have left to another.
