I was your friend

And you did me wrong

I don't know why

I have to put it in this song

Maybe it’s for people to know

That I'm not the one

So I guess for 1 million and one things

That were already sung

See I can make my way

Down this path

I don't know why everytime

You look at me like that

Is it because you're

Not as strong as me

Surviving on your own

Is the only key

You're so manipulative

Got me all tied up

You're so manipulative

All the love I had dried up

Getting you on your own

Is a task in itself

Feeling like I'm worthless

It's like I'm living my life on a shelf

You're so manipulative

Got me all tied up

You're so manipulative

All the love I had dried up

Getting you on your own

Is a task in itself

Feeling like I'm worthless

It's like I'm living my life on a shelf

Seeing the reasons

For why you do these things

If it is that easy

Then I'm gonna sing

I go a couple days out of my way

Just to start again

Into this notebook, where it begins

Is where I stain my pen

Gathered all my things

And now it's time to go

Interesting enough

I still have my own flow

Only reason I started

So you wouldn’t get the best of me

Maybe I should repeat myself

A dream to me is everything

You're so manipulative

Got me all tied up

You're so manipulative

All the love I had dried up

Getting you on your own

Is a task in itself

Feeling like I'm worthless

It's like I'm living my life on a shelf

You're so manipulative

Got me all tied up

You're so manipulative

All the love I had dried up

Getting you on your own

Is a task in itself

Feeling like I'm worthless

It's like I'm living my life on a shelf

Seeing me how I'm doing

Checking way too frequently

Weighing my options out

Searching for stability

Trying to find words to write

Sometimes it's hard

But with you on my mind

It wasn't that hard to start

Catching myself delving

Too much in the past

Sometimes these issues come first

Maybe your first moved last

Creating new beginnings

More importantly without you

It feels much better

Than to be stuck to you like glue

The monster you never wanted to see became that within me and I don't regret it because it also made me stronger than I ever realized and more than I cared to know
