Every Time

Raw vent.

Every time I think I have it right, life proves me wrong

Every time I move one step forward, life puts me back where I belong

Every time I think I trump the devil, he comes along and trumps me

Every time I let go of love, love turns around and lets go of me

Every time I think I'm right, I end up proving myself wrong

Every time I think I'm strong, I end up feeling weak from being alone

Every time I try to hide, life shows my true side

and every time I try to be tough, it's only a facade

Every time I draw close, disappointment draws near

And when I let go of my pride, all I get back is fear

Every time I get over something, it just comes back around

And every time I'm ready, love never fails to let me down

Every time I protect myself, people tear my walls down

and every time I open up, they remind me why I never let them down

Every time I am realistic, they assume that I don't care

and every time, I play the fool

Why do I treat me so unfair?
