Not Worth This Song

You’re not worth a song, not worth my tears

Not worth the echo of those wasted years

I wrote this here

So I can move on

But you—

You’re not worth this song

⸻

First off, this self-healing is needed

I can tell you right now this will not be repeated

5am ruminations, praying to God it’ll stop

Trauma bond, like a fucking heroin detox

Had me feeling guilty, hopeless, and lost

It ain’t about money—but what did it cost?

Whole heart given to a Slytherin

All them red flags, yeah, I was missing them

Blinded by the lies of what could’ve been

Gave you my whole heart on the free

Played my empathy

like Stevie on the keys

Guess that’s on me

And my lack of boundaries

Slowly stacking up guilt

So I wouldn’t leave

Made sure you had your hooks in me

Before you started your fuckery

Sleepless ass nights full of anxiety

Waking up to hollow apologies

Only telling me you care

When I was ready to leave

This isn’t a tribute —

this is my therapy.

This song isn’t for you

This song is for me

This song is for me

⸻

You’re not worth a song, not worth my tears

Not worth the echo of these wasted years

I wrote this here so I could move on

But you—

You’re not worth this song

These bandaged childhood wounds

Broken open with constant pokes and lashes

Finding your power in me losing my happiness

Giving you more and more until I was empty

Hoping to win a glimpse of what I first believed

The love you first had for me

A love that was a fallacy

You knew it was time to leave

When all your lies were seen

Walking out the door with a smile

and a laugh

I’m just another man destroyed in your path

Thanks, I needed that

Now I’m back to my craft

And you’re just a song from my past.

You’re not worth a song, not worth my tears

Not worth the echo of these wasted years

I wrote this here so I could move on

But you—

You’re not worth this song

Not worth this song

No crescendos for a heart so fake

No symphony for the mess you made

The silence, it sings louder than you

No song for a heart that was so untrue

You’re not worth a song, not worth my tears

Not worth the echo of these wasted years

I wrote this here so I could move on

But you—

You’re not worth this song

Not worth this song

You’re not worth a song, not worth my tears

Not worth the echo of these wasted years

I wrote this here so I could move on

But you—

You’re not worth this song

Not worth this song
