(Verse 1 - Rapper)
I see a good man, but that reflection is a lie
It's a hazy blur, and all I want to know is why
I pour my soul out, give you light, and what do I get in return?
Just a bitter lesson, a nasty truth I'm forced to learn
You say my mind is a mess, that I am too much to take
But it's your own damn secrets that are making me break.
(Pre-Chorus - R&B)
The truth is a fire, burning up all the lies you told
I see you for who you are now, and that story's getting old
You leave a trail of pieces, a version of myself I can't stand to be
But I'm taking them all back now, and finally letting myself be free.
(Chorus - R&B)
'Cause I'm about done with your lies, the pain and all the tears you've made me cry
This ain't a slow goodbye, this is me fighting to stay alive
I'm about to take back my soul and leave your shadow behind
This is your final warning, before I walk away and put you completely out my mind.
(Verse 2 - Rapper)
I lose my joy, my friends, my own identity
'Cause I am too busy building you up to ever see me
You turn the butterflies to knots, and now they're fire in my gut
I'm so mentally crippled, my feelings are always shut
You say the cruelest things, just to watch me fall
But I'm not a clown in your game so when I say this, just know, I'm not playing at all.
(Bridge - R&B)
Your love's a prison, a cage I'm breaking out of now
I deserve a love that's safe, a man who helps me grow
Who sees my flaws, and holds me close, and never lets me go
Since you can't see my worth, I'm gonna make my own self whole
You don't care how I feel right now because you think I always stay
But when I walk away for good then it'll be too late
I won't even care what you'll have to say.
(Outro - Rapper)
I'm still waiting on you to learn to love me for now
But what if someone's out there waiting for me?
Someone who already knows how.
