I’ve reached a point I didn’t plan

(Verse 1)

I need to be clear about where I stand

I’ve reached a point I didn’t plan

I can no longer put our friendship first

When it leaves me feeling like I’m at my worst

I’ve stood by you through the thick and the thin

At the cost of the other friends I’ve been in

I’ve defended your name and I’ve kept the peace

But my own well-being has found no release

(Chorus)

I’ve felt used and I’ve felt the sting

Of the hurt that your friendship seems to bring

My feelings and happiness, day after day

Have taken a backseat while you had your way

I’m done with the drama, I’m done with the fight

I’m tired of being dragged through the dirt in the night

(Verse 2)

If I ever hurt you, it was nothing but an honest mistake

For I would never intentionally make your heartbreak

I am not a liar, don’t paint me in black

I’m tired of the knife that you put in my back

Walking on eggshells, I’m worn to the bone

With my private business on a speakerphone

You think what you say doesn’t travel, as you plan your attack

But it gets back to me, and I finally understand,

The real truth you always lack,

(Verse 3)

I’ve stood up for you when it wasn’t easy to do

I never wanted to choose, never wanted to be untrue

But I can’t let you treat me like I’m nothing at all

I’m done with the trip, I’m done with the fall

I deserve respect, I deserve to be kind

I’m leaving the shadows and the blindness behind

I’ve held up your world while you tore mine apart

But I’m taking back the pieces of my own broken heart

(Bridge)

You think you’re the only one with feelings to show

But there’s a limit to how far I’m willing to go

While you’re busy spreading your lies through the town

I’m picking my spirit up off of the ground

I’m protecting my soul, I’m guarding my peace

I’m waiting for all of this chaos to cease

(Outro)

So from this point on, you decide what is true

Are you a real friend, or are we finally through?

I’m going my way, I’m setting me free

I’m done being the only one trying to be

The person who cares, the one who stays kind

I’m leaving the hurt and the drama behind

Yeah, I’m leaving it all behind.
