We know
Strumming my pain with your fingers
Singing my life with your words
Killing me softly with your song
As much as you know; as little as I do.
You tell me all the things I want to hear
And you say them so sweetly
You're in and around my heart
And I'm pleased to have you there.
You strengthen that which is my flesh
And it excites me when you do
You understand my emotions like no other
And you help me to know that I'm right.
You never leave me alone, always with me
You walk me to class & back to my room
You keep me company when I study
You rock me to sleep at night.
My dreams & my ambitions are held together by you
My love & my life is at your command
I've always felt like you're true to me
Like you're the only one I can trust.
It was hard for me to find out that you lie
I cried when I realized you wanted to destroy me
I felt used knowing that your entertainment was a ploy
You understood me, yes
But that was the tool to destroying me.
You showed me things that are pure but distorted them in my mind
You spun me around in darkness so I wouldn't know the way to light
You tried to take my soul by poisoning my mind
You blocked all reason & turned me to emotions.
You took the things I loved so dear
The people that loved me too
You made yourself my alpha and I made you the omega.
And now the lies you told are the truths I live in
Now I am all those things you told me I was
But I don't want you anymore
I want to know who I really am; who I can be.
But you'll never show me that
You'll only give what you need to go on
And I finally figured out why.
If you let me see who I am,
I'll know that I'm above you
I'll know that I don't need you
I'll know that I'm the one with life, not you
I'll know that I don't need your validation
I'll know that my decisions are mine
I'll know that I owe you nothing.
I'm finding out so many things about you
Things I wish I knew before now
But I'm not too worried about it
Because the most important thing is
I know its never too late to walk away from you.
