Took my heart and you never gave it back,

But once you told me you’d never go.

I always did the things that I should’ve done, always let you know when I’m home.

I should’ve seen that your mind, it wasn’t right,

But talking to you, I didn’t know.

Never thought that I’d see another light —

Found myself, and it’s time to glow.

It’s hard to feel the way that I feel about you, when all I think about is the times when

You were making me feel the way that you do, all the way up until the end.

I couldn’t face the things that I know that you’ve done, told myself that I had to leave.

Now I look at us from another distance —

You never saw what I could’ve seen.

You let me run away, didn’t say anything to keep me from going, my dear.

I had to let you go, didn’t know if I could get back all the feelings I fear.

There was no other way we could stay with each other — both of our feelings were hurt.

Now I say goodbye, you can try, but I know I won’t be loving again.

When I was with you, it felt like such a high,

Didn’t think I’d feel this low.

My mind, it wanders into a darker place — a place I didn’t know about before.

Someday I know that I’ll laugh at this, but for today I know I won’t.

I need this world to know what I know I’m worth,

I need to go out here on my own.
