🎵 “Trust Was the Worst”

Mama left, left me in the dark

A little girl with a broken heart

Said she loved me, then walked away

Left me alone to face the pain

Those who should’ve kept me safe instead

Broke me down and filled me with regret

Trusted hands that pushed me aside

Left me drowning with no place to hide

And daddy’s eyes looked through my soul

Said he didn’t want me, wouldn’t make me whole

All the love I begged to find

Was just silence every time

Trust has been the worst of my life

Cut me deep like a sharpened knife

I gave my heart, they tore it apart

Left me standing with a shattered heart

Trust has been the worst, but here I stand

Still fighting, still learning to understand

I thought the ones who cared would stay

But they just walked, just turned away

Now every scar tells a story true

Of battles fought and coming through

Trust has been the worst — yeah, that’s true

But it won’t define the rest of you
