Done Begging to Be Seen

[Verse 1]
You only call when you’re bored
You only care when I bleed
Pulled my strings like a toy
Then tossed me back in the weeds
I burned my tongue on your truth
Swallowed lies till I choked
You loved the crack
Not the core
You loved the thrill of control
[Chorus]
I’m done begging to be seen
Rip your name off of my skin (hey!)
I’m tired of playing your games
You lose me
You never win
I’m done dragging through your dreams
I’m cutting out every scene
I’m living my life for me
I’m living my life for me
[Verse 2]
You twist the knife with a smile
Then ask me why I’m so cold
You paint me into your hell
Then act like I broke the mold
You only run to my light
When all your fires burn out
I gave you everything bright
You turned it all into doubt
[Chorus]
I’m done begging to be seen
Rip your name off of my skin (yeah!)
I’m tired of playing your games
You lose me
You never win
I’m done dragging through your dreams
I’m cutting out every scene
I’m living my life for me
I’m living my life for me
[Bridge]
I’m not your mirror
Not your cure
Not your excuse
Anymore
You had your chances
One by one
Watch me rise
Watch you come undone (come undone)
[Chorus]
I’m done begging to be seen
Rip your name off of my skin (off my skin)
I’m tired of playing your games
You lose me
You never win
I’m done dragging through your dreams
I’m cutting out every scene
I’m living my life for me
I’m living my life for me (for me)
I’m living my life for me
