Summertime you were on my mind now it’s gone. I’m leaving you behind leaves are changing and I’m changing into skies blue and I’m through with you and now I’m free from the way hold on. I can explain you made me. I let you you made me I let you cause me pain, but something has to change. Is this what competent women look like is this what self-respect looks like? Is this what a bad bitch look like you don’t deserve me got on with my life and when the leaves are fallen, I’m done falling for you.
You promised October it’d all change.
But summer remembers your lies stayed the same.
Heartbreak gets easier with age.
I’ve been here before—I can count the days.
Seven days ’til I stop checking my phone.
Six ‘til your memory don’t feel like home.
Five ‘til your name don’t sting the same.
Four ’til I quit playing your games.
Three ’til I laugh without your name.
Two ’til I forget your face.
One more sunrise til I look in the mirror and say
Is this what confident women look like?
Is this what self-respect feels like?
Is this what a bad bitch looks like?
Turns out I’m everything you couldn’t recognize
I love hard.
I stand tall.
I break, I heal, even after I fall
I know who I am.
No matter who leaves…
I still stand
I don’t quit
I don’t run
Every chapter made me who I’ve become
Hands up, hair down,
I’m the life of this whole town.
Turn it up, don’t turn around,
Watch me light this whole place now.
Heartbeats hitting on the one,
Tonight I’m dancing just because.
No looking back, no “what ifs,”
I’m too busy loving this.
