Misguided Faith

I had put my faith in you
With hopes things would work out
You told me my life would be better
I tried to put away my doubts

A few months went by
Things weren't going so good
Thank you just wasn't enough for you
Nothing I did would

You had problems in your own life
Problems you didn't know you had
Things that came to light when I came
So things went from good to bad

Here I was hundreds of miles away
From anything or anyone I ever knew
You said my life would get better
Now I have to suffer because you have issues

But I've made the best of things
From dark days I've seen the light
I came out here to make things better
And I wasn't giving up without a fight

I'd make a better life for me
Without help from you
And I'll do it much better
Than anything you can do

You built me up
Then broke me down
I once was lost
But now I'm found

I'll see you on
The other side
If I'm stuck here
This is where I'll reside

I'll make this place
My new home
I'll have a job
And get a phone

I won't be calling you
So you can feel okay
I have a grudge against you
I'm sorry that I feel that way

I had put my faith in you
Thank you was never enough
I guess you wanted blood
Turned out your promises were fluff
