Verse 1
I gave you my nights, I gave you my days
Lost in your shadow, stuck in your maze
Every word cut, but I still stayed
Chasing a fire that always decayed
Pre-Chorus
You broke me down, I built you up
Loved you so deep it was never enough
Chorus
I loved you, I hated you
Did what I needed to
I don’t know why I kept you in my life for so long
For so long
Tied to the memory
Of what we used to be
Now I’m finally letting go of what was wrong
For so long
Verse 2
I wore the scars, I hid the pain
Dancing through thunder, drowning in rain
I gave my soul, but you took control
Now I’m reclaiming the pieces you stole
Pre-Chorus
You broke me down, I built you up
Loved you so deep it was never enough
Chorus
I loved you, I hated you
Did what I needed to
I don’t know why I kept you in my life for so long
For so long
Tied to the memory
Of what we used to be
Now I’m finally letting go of what was wrong
For so long
Bridge
And I don’t need your ghost in my veins
I’m stronger now, walking away
The chains are gone, the weight has lifted
The love was broken, but I’m gifted
Final Chorus
I loved you, I hated you
Did what I needed to
I don’t know why I kept you in my life for so long
For so long
But I found the strength in me
To finally set me free
I won’t be haunted by the past I held on
For so long
