He made it so hard
To trust someone
He made it so hard
To fall in love

Not trying to mess up this relationship (thinkin')
'Cause the last man did me that way
You gon do the same things I
Don't wanna be this way
But I'm hoping you can change
The way that I feel
(ooooo)you see
I trusted him with everything
Never held back anything
Thought we'd be 2gether for the rest of our lives
So suddenly he took his love away
And made it hard to trust again (oooo)

I know I been holding back
But he really hurt me bad
I don't wanna take my past
And put it all on you
I'm not tryna hold you back
Really hope you understand
I don't know what I'm gonna do

[Chorus:]
When I think of what he did to me
It makes it hard to fall in love
When I think about just what I need
It makes it hard to trust someone
Baby I gotta let go
Don't wanna miss out on love this time
Gotta leave those things behind

Whatever's yours
You call it ours send flowers
With love you keep me showered
But so did my x-man at first
You see what started out so simple
All flew out the window
There I go comparing you to him again
It keeps holding me down (i gotta let it go)
I wanna give love a chance (but you may never know)
Baby you can be the the one for me
Yes the only one for me
And I don't want to loose a good thing nooo...

I know I been holding back
But he really hurt me bad
I don't wanna take my past
And put it all on you
I'm not tryna hold you back
Really hope you understand
I don't know what I'm gonna do

[Chorus:]

One disappointment, one heart break
To many mistakes in love I've made
I can't come with all this baggage
Thinking he's gonna have it
See I know I'm being selfish
But I gotta let it go
Close that chapter, close that book
Faith in love is all it ever took
That's why I never gave up and never gave in
'Cause I know true love is waitin' for me again

I know I been holding back
But he really hurt me bad
I don't wanna take my past
And put it all on you
I'm not tryna hold you back
Really hope you understand
I don't know what I'm gonna do

(Chorus)
Every time I think of what he did to me
It makes it hard to fall in love
When I think I find just what I need
It makes it hard to trust someone
Baby I got to let go
Don't wanna miss out on love this time
Gotta leave those things behind

He made it so hard
To trust someone
He made it so hard
To fall in love
