Done this time

I used to wait up for your headlights in the driveway
Phone on loud, heart beating sideways
You’d say “I’m outside,” like that fixed everything
But broken promises don’t shine like rings

I was cooking dinner, you was out with your friends
Saying I’m trippin’, but I know how this ends
Every time I cried, you’d flip it on me
Had me feeling crazy for the things I could see

Pre-Chorus
You played the hero, then the villain
Switching sides every minute
And I kept hoping you’d change
But you just stayed the same

Chorus
Now I’m finally done this time
No more calling you mine
No more tears in the nighttime
I’m choosing me, I’m choosing peace
You can keep your apologies
I don’t need closure to breathe
It took a while, but I see
I’m better off without you holding me

Verse 2
You loved when I was insecure
Made you feel needed, made you feel sure
But I’m not that girl no more
I don’t beg at locked doors

You said I’d never find better
Like I was lucky to have you
But loving you was a lesson
Now I’m thankful it’s through

Pre-Chorus
You played the hero, then the villain
Switching sides every minute
And I kept hoping you’d change
But you just stayed the same

Chorus
Now I’m finally done this time
No more calling you mine
No more tears in the nighttime
I’m choosing me, I’m choosing peace
You can keep your apologies
I don’t need closure to breathe
It took a while, but I see
I’m better off without you holding me

Bridge
I burned the letters, cleared the pictures off my phone
Cried my last tear alone
I thought I needed you to feel whole
But I been whole all along

Outro
Yeah, I’m finally over it
No more folding, no more giving in
If you call, I won’t answer it
I’m finally over it
