Brave (For Once)

I gave you everything I had and some more My pounding heart on a platter you ignored I tried to pander to your every whim I let you use me, abuse me and win I would've stolen the moon and the stars I would've fought battles if you had only asked But now I'm the shadow of the girl I once was A wandering spirit who fell in your claws I gotta shake off the chains that bind me to you And find a way back to the girl I once knew I blindly believed that one day you would change But you drained all my essence and messed with my head Your twisted emotions feel somewhat strange I should learn to say no before it's too late But now I'm the shadow of the girl I once was A wandering spirit who fell in your claws I gotta shake off the chains that bind me to you And find a way back to the girl I once knew So I'm walking away, one step at a time I'm closing this sad chapter of my life I'm done with this pain, I need peace of mind You don't know what it feels like when you turn the knife In the same wounds you caused I'm walking away and there's no turning back I'm forcing myself to be brave for once For once So I guess this is goodbye Bye bye bye I'm walking away and there's no turning back I'm forcing myself to be brave Who would've thought I'd be brave for once
