[Verse 1]

I had this idea one day

To reconstruct myself, keep the demons at bay

So, I shut my eyes real tight, began to think

How I could steal all your emotions away

But to this day, no display of affection

Led me in the right direction

I know things happen for a reason

That's why I'm leaving

You were not the right one for me

[Chorus]

And I still don't know why you stay with me

I watch you cry sometimes, you are not free

But I still see through all your bullshit games

And all my emotions are holding me back

[Verse 2]

I think about days gone by

Days when I

Didn't have the strength to try but still I

Pushed on with every single sеnse of hope

The ability to copе and those letters I wrote to you

The glue that held us together I thought would never dissolve

But I've evolved

I know things happen for a reason

That's why I'm leaving

You were not the right one for me

[Chorus]

And I still don't know why you stay with me

I watch you cry sometimes, you are not free

But I still see through all your bullshit games

And all my emotions are holding me back

[Post-Chorus]

And when I look back, I know that it was all for you

You know you remind me of a shining starlight

Burn bright in the beginning, but you'll hit the ground

And when you do, I'll be sure that I'm there to let you down

[Verse 3]

I say let you down in every sense of the word

Both nouns and verbs

And so I've heard it takes a little bit more than a champion

To compete with you, I know I can't win

But still, I try to get this stress to resonate somewhere

Other than my chest

I know things happen for a reason

That's why I'm leaving

You were not the right one for me

[Chorus]

And I still don't know why you stay with me

I watch you cry sometimes, you are not free

But I still see through all your bullshit games

And all my emotions are holding me back

[Bridge]

You know I still miss your smile

You know I still miss your laughter at night

You know I still miss your charisma

But I don't miss any of that bullshit, nah

[Breakdown/Outro]

You were holding me back...

You were holding me back...

You were holding me back!

When push came to shove!

You showed me no love!

But still I pushed on with every single ounce of me!

Best to be the best MC!

I know now!

When push came to shove!

Showed me no love!

Still, I pushed on with every single ounce of me!

Best to be the best MC!

I know now!
