I feel so free
After giving you up
And getting back to me.

I learned the hard way
That it’s okay
To cut your losses
And to cut ties
With parasites.

I wish I could have a conversation with
The girl I was ten years ago
And the woman I will be in ten years.

Was busy chasing waterfalls
Got caught up in it all
Until I looked up and saw
The extravagant brown;
In other eyes never found.

I looked into your eyes and I knew
That to you I could not lie,
Nor ever deceive you,
Will never let you go but
Will never let you get too close.

You told me about your nightmares
So I made it my mission to be your dream.

This is the part where you tell me
All that I need to know.
No lies, no more hiding,
Just bring your honest self to the table
And feed me your truth.
I've been starving and you knew this.
You just now want to feed me truth like we ain't been through this.
You're ruthless.
But I knew this.
I'm not one to play innocent
But the time we spent
Was wasted
You saw that I was suffering
You turned my world black and blue
With splotches of red from the blood my heart bled for you
You never touched me, but you starved me
Of the truth you should've been serving me
My friends look at me sideways and ask me why I stay
I tell them things with u and me weren't always this way.
They pity me; I would pity me too.
A limitless woman should never be confined to you.
So when you ask me what I want from you,
I want you to keep my suffering in mind
Before you fix your lips to feed me another lie.
