I don't know why
I keep coming back
Last time
I told myself
It was for good
I was done with you
Done with the games
The manipulations
The lies
The constant contradictions
Telling me one thing
And then another
Leaving me stranded
Not knowing what to do
Or where to go
Either path
Will break your rules
You insult my intelligence
By leaving your list
Where I can find it
Yes
I googled the phone numbers
You take me to places
Say you're just trying to help
And I don't get to say no
When do I get to speak for myself
You fill out personal paperwork
Meant for me
With questions
Only I should know the answers to
You change details
And tell the wrong story
But im obsessive
For correcting them
How long
Have I turned a blind eye
How long
Am I going to keep doing it
Letting you talk down on me
About me
You want it to be me
It has to be my fault
There must be something wrong with me
Because I called you out
I stopped falling
For your game
I'm not going to be quiet anymore
I'm done letting you chose
The way I get to live
I'm going to tell world
My truth
I am not scared of you
I have nothing else to lose
But you do
Because if you keep it up
You will lose me forever
