How do you know?

How do you know who to trust anymore?

What words do I listen for, which ones do I cross out?

Do I wait till the trust is broken, or make them earn it beforehand?

 

How do you know who to love anymore?

What lines do I listen for, which ones are overused?

Do I wait till I think about it more, or let them lift me off my feet?

 

How do you know who to hate anymore?

What comments do I listen for, what fakeness do I leave out?

Do I wait till I hear the whole story, or give them the benefit of the doubt?
