How can I trust you if I don't even trust myself?

Do you know how hard it is to keep the demons at bay

And know that they'll never go away?

How do I know that you won't get hurt?

I try to keep them away, I really do,

Because there's so much I can lose.

I try to keep them to myself,

But they refuse to be put on a shelf.

They claw and they fight

Just so they can see the light.

My demons cause so much destruction

And they wield such seduction.

Everyone whose trusted me got hurt

Or left in the dirt.

So how can I trust you if no one can trust me?
