You let me chase my own tail- in a race,
you never intended for me to win
And you let me huff and puff at every door-
not once did you let me in.
You amplified my fears, shot the arrow straight into my wounds-
Kept me walking, bleeding on glass, as long as I was obeying your rules.
You gave me affection, only when I needed it the least-
only so you could turn on me
all those moments when I really was weak.
But a weight has been lifted from my shoulders
Knowing I don’t have to forgive, I can just let you go.
And there is revenge in knowing
You will selfdestruct all on your own.
You said you had my back, and then you stabbed it
Guess it had to break, for me to learn.
And if there is any love in you at all
it’s a love I no longer have a wish to earn.
And a weight has been lifted from my shoulders
Knowing I don’t have to forgive, I can just let you go.
And there is revenge in knowing
that now you know, that it is me who is strong-
and it’s been me, all along.
It was never real, none of the pages in our history
Your words, your gentlest touch, it was always all hypocrisy-
The love you think you have for me..
It’s useless and worthless, and now that I can see that..
It is I who have set myself free.
And you are left- playing the only role in your parody.
And a weight has been lifted from my shoulders
Knowing I don’t have to forgive, I can just let you go.
And there is revenge in knowing
Unless you change, you’re doomed to die alone.
