We Set Ourselves up for Heartbreak

As girls As girls we set ourselves up for heartbreak.

That's why we test you.

We ask you "Where have you been?"

because the worst runs through our heads.

It's not that we don't trust you,

we just love you too much to lose you.

We walk away and get mad when you don't follow after

but it's not that we're trying to confuse you,

we just aren't confident in ourselves

and we think you don't care if we leave.

We lash out at you not because we're mad

but because we want to see if you can handle our mood swings.

We tell ourselves you won't pass the tests

we throw at you because we don't want you

but because if you do fail we want to be ready for it.

Because the most painful thing any girl can go through is heartbreak..

That's why we test you.

We ask you "Where have you been?"

because the worst runs through our heads.
