How can I get you to see?
That the girl you knew me to be
Is not the woman that is now me?
I have my own mind now
To your whims I no longer bow
I am different and you just can’t realize how.
The changes became more apparent in our last try
I had resolved that my mission was to love, but no longer to cry
That all I had and needed was me. That without you I wouldn’t die.
You knew that this day would come
That I couldn’t forever play dumb
That I wanted love, not from pain to be numb
I knew about her and still I came back
Convinced myself I had everything she lacked
But it wasn’t enough I thought as a packed.
The wells of my tears had dried and cracked by the last day,
Watching your son as I carried boxes away.
Wishing on everything, you would give me a reason to stay.
That naivete is gone
To come back here you need more than the old song
To get back what you disregarded for so long
You asked me today why things had to be my way
How can you even think that with your propensity to stray?
Did you think that once again my heart would be the object of play?
Your touch has always been my healing
But I will not endure the side effects of my mind reeling
Wondering if moments with her you are stealing
Do you think that is all I’m worth?
That more wasn’t meant for me from birth
That you are the only man I could love on this earth?
There is so much more out there than you can give
I need to be free, not to play the role of your submissive
You can’t have me anymore. I have my own life to live.
You’re just not good enough to receive all of this
And even though I have loved you since that first kiss,
The memories are still with me, so I have nothing left to miss.
