Sore

[00:01.14] Yeah I know I may have hurt you but does that make this okay?
[00:03.20] I see your coping mechanism and it ruins my day
[00:05.76] But I'm afraid to stand up for myself
[00:07.07] Afraid of what I'll say
[00:08.01] So I find myself slowly fading away
[00:10.48] 118 new messages
[00:13.05] 199 missed calls
[00:15.11] After all that time spent on the
[00:16.73] Phone trying to help you get through it
[00:18.61] Trying to ease the fall
[00:20.27] I did what was best for me
[00:22.19] And in the end you'll see it was best for both of us
[00:25.09] I'm a mess
[00:25.69] I'm broken
[00:26.02] But you are too
[00:27.23] We are separated
[00:28.18] To be fixed to new
[00:29.45] So don't make me the villain
[00:30.94] Just 'cause we weren't meant to be
[00:31.90] That's not down to my control
[00:33.39] I had to leave
[00:34.32] You don't know how long it took me to block you
[00:36.68] I found it hard so don't act like I was never good to you
[00:39.45] I felt like I was trapped
[00:40.72] Forced to stay
[00:41.51] But I had friends that told me that it was not okay
[00:43.72] So I left before it got too much
[00:46.29] I wasn't prepared for when you made the first punch
[00:48.97] I said I wanted space but you wouldn't give up
[00:51.05] Made it harder for yourself but it would never be enough
[00:53.64] 'Cause what went on between us
[00:55.01] Seemed fine
[00:55.85] Until I looked a little closer
[00:57.30] And saw the inside
[00:59.38] I chose to lose you
[01:02.46] To save myself
[01:04.58] To stop me being someone else
[01:09.54] I thought I was strong
[01:11.68] But you knew more
[01:13.92] I'd been manipulated
[01:16.05] Left brain dead
[01:17.56] And sore
[01:17.56] What I didn't want to do
[01:18.85] Was start a fight
[01:19.95] Because you know that's not me
[01:21.13] You know that's not right
[01:22.68] But I felt like I had no choice
[01:24.34] I'm still stuck under your shadow
[01:26.29] Screaming for a voice
[01:27.32] But it came
[01:28.04] It's here now
[01:28.88] I'm speaking out
[01:29.65] I'm not playing the victim
[01:30.93] I'm out and proud!
[01:31.83] It maybe wasn't toxic
[01:33.18] But I know you're not blind
[01:34.35] And I know you know deep down that there was bad times
[01:36.85] So go on
[01:38.17] Ask for me back
[01:39.12] Do it again and again but don't expect me to crack
[01:41.51] I've grown, you've seen it
[01:42.81] More than ever
[01:43.84] So take credit for that
[01:45.16] I don't
[01:45.72] It's whatever
[01:46.62] You may think I've finally got what I want to
[01:48.13] (Thought I was strong)
[01:49.41] But you're just looking at what I've achieved
[01:51.87] I was there for you before
[01:52.32] (But you were stronger)
[01:54.13] But this one? It's for me
[01:57.33] I chose to lose you
[01:59.58] To save myself
[02:02.25] To stop me being someone else
[02:07.19] I thought I was strong
[02:09.04] But you knew more
[02:11.99] I'd been manipulated
[02:13.77] Left brain-dead
[02:15.58] And sore
[02:16.08] I know you're listening
[02:18.20] And I know it hurts
[02:20.83] You've got to be strong
[02:23.07] You've got to learn
[02:24.87] I left because I needed to and you told me you knew that
[02:27.46] So if you ever really loved me this is how you prove that
[02:29.61] When I say I needed time
[02:30.64] I'm telling you I meant that
[02:32.22] I'm broken
[02:33.07] I'm fixing myself
[02:33.81] I hope you understand that
[02:35.45] I know I lost you
[02:38.08] To save myself
[02:40.44] I'm not becoming someone else
[02:45.39] I know that I'm strong
[02:47.45] But you know more
[02:49.56] I felt manipulated
[02:52.11] Left brain-dead
[02:53.78] And sore
[02:55.17]
