This was not your fault
It was mine
Why you crying?
Pushing me away
but keep me hooked up on that line
another lie, another story
i promise things will change
expect me to believe you
when i see you play the same old games
another punch, another slap
another arrow to my back
living my new life with these anxiety attacks
never get too close
dont get too loud
dont push too far
never make a sound
up against the wall
get me down to the ground
never gonna break me im a warrior now
been a couple years and its time i let this go
to let you know
i havent thought about you once
since last you called
im not your doll
matter of fact i never needed you at all
always swooping in to save you
but its time i let you fall
pain fuels the hate
must be a better way
asked god for an angel
but the devil was listening
speak of the devil now here he is
started going in about having kids
told him that we need to sit down and fix
all the things that are broken in the relationship
he wasnt having it
screaming in my face
clearly not ready for a thing so heavy
on a broken foundation
where we cant stand steady
tell me youre gonna kill me
tell me i aint worthy
try to hold me down
go ahead and hurt me
you can take my body
but youll never take my mind
youll never find your happiness
by taking what is mine
i hope someday somebody saves your soul
til then im happy knowing that youre lonely
somewhere rotting in a hole
pain fuels the hate
must be a better way
asked god for an angel
but the devil was listening
