I am more

I hit your Corvette

I picked it all up

Made sure that you didn’t know

Made sure to keep all the parts

⸻

My head was a mess

You made sure of that

I had to get up and go

And take my car for a ride

⸻

You keep making it harder

You want all control

You want to make me feel

Like I am not enough

⸻

You keep painting me castles

That you water down

Twisting all my truths

Like I’m just a child

⸻

I still haven’t had enough

Your poison leaves me raw

The push and pull made love a game

And I chose to lose it all

Yeah, I lived with the pain way too long

⸻

I didn’t know why I was lying

But now I understand

You reached inside my pain

unraveled who I am

⸻

My inner girl was screaming

I knew it all felt wrong

Still, held on too long

I know that pain ain’t love

⸻

I still haven’t had enough

Your poison leaves me raw

The push and pull made love a game

And I chose to lose it all

But I lived with the pain way too long

And now I know—I am more
