Now I see, and I'm getting stronger

I'm not experienced, but I know how they are
And honey, they'll eat you up
Because that's just who they are
You can try your luck
Something I've done many times
Just be ready to pick yourself up
After the first few tries

Because They won't have sympathy
And they're just too conceited
To notice people like you and me
We're just thrown out there
And expected to make it on our own
And you'd think maybe they'd miss us after we're gone
But they won't.

So shake it off
And don't you dare let them see you cry
Because that's just a sign of weakness
In their hungry eyes
They feed off of the drama in other peoples' lives
An it's sad, because you wish you could be heartless enough
To be like them, just one time

And I can't waste anymore of my sweet, sweet time
Trying to let you see why I think you're wrong.
It won't sink in. Because you're perfect, right?
And it'll always be my fault
But you have your ways, I'll give you that much
I'm just an amateur when it comes to speaking up
And all that ever seems to do
Is feed those hungry eyes

They don't need to know all the things you did to me
Because it's my problem, not theirs
So I'll just wear my poker face
And get right back out there
And I'll become one of them
So I won't feel the hurt
And they won't forget me.
Trust me, I'll make sure

I'd like to be mean enough to say that is the truth
But that's not me and I can't change
because now I know you
I've seen how you think
But you're soeone else's problem now
Because I won't let you trick me anymore
