I Won't Believe In You

I won't believe in you again
When you tell me you're my friend
When you tell me you care about me
When you tell me I matter
I won't believe you again

Your pretty words will fall on deaf ears
And I will turn away from you
I have been gullible too often
I won't believe you again

I will be cold
I will be hard
And I will not care
Because I won't believe in you again

You told me I was a good person
That was a lie
You told me you cared about me
That was a lie
You told me you were my friend
That was a lie
So today, you will lose me
I won't believe you again
And yet, you and I know
That through this hardness
That the wall of my indifference
Will break at one word from you

But for now, I will be cold
And for now, I will be hard
And for now, I will not care
Oh yes, I will not believe in you again
