[Verse 1]
I learned the hard way
Smiles can be bait
Hands in the doorframe
Then they take what you make
You called it a favor
I called it a test
You took what was easy
And left me the rest
Now I read the room
Like a bank alarm glow
One wrong move
And I already know
You want the old me
Soft and unguarded
But that door stays locked
Once it’s been parted
[Pre-Chorus]
Be kind, not blind
That’s the line I keep
You can kiss my cheek
But you don’t get my keys
Ten cuidado
I heard that truth before
Once they know your weak spot
They come back wanting more
[Chorus]
Be good enough
(Enough)
Forgive the cut
(Forget the cut)
Don’t trust them twice
(Don’t trust them twice)
Ten cuidado
Ten cuidado
They used you once
They’ll do it again
Ten cuidado
Ten cuidado
[Verse 2]
I’m not made of stone
I just learned the cost
Some lessons stay
Even after they’re lost
You want my yes
On a clean new day
But trust is a table
That don’t get reset that way
I can wish you well
From across the line
Wish you peace
Keep my heart in mine
You don’t get a rerun
You don’t get a key
I can free my spirit
Still keep my sanity
[Pre-Chorus]
Be kind, not blind
That’s the line I keep
You can ask for grace
But you don’t get relief
Ten cuidado
I heard that truth before
Once they know your weak spot
They come back wanting more
[Chorus]
Be good enough
(Enough)
Forgive the cut
(Forget the cut)
Don’t trust them twice
(Don’t trust them twice)
Ten cuidado
Ten cuidado
They used you once
They’ll do it again
Ten cuidado
Ten cuidado
[Bridge]
Maybe I forgive you
Maybe I let it go
That don’t mean I’m open
That don’t mean I don’t know
Same kind of hunger
Same old face
If I let you back in
You’ll take up space
So I bless the lesson
Then I shut the gate
Mercy in my chest
And a lock on fate
[Final Chorus]
Be good enough
(Enough)
Forgive the cut
(Forget the cut)
Don’t trust them twice
(Don’t trust them twice)
Ten cuidado
Ten cuidado
They used you once
They’ll do it again
Ten cuidado
Ten cuidado
