I know you deserve so much better than me.
I know you just wanna be free.
There’s the door, just leave, just go.
Matter of fact I’ll leave this was never my home.
This was never where I belonged.
Put me down even when I did nothing wrong.
I deserve better, I deserve more.
I don’t need to be beaten and tossed to the floor.
I don’t need whatever this sick thing is that you call love.
For now on I’m putting myself above.
I have too much respect for myself to take this.
Everything, the memories, the pain, I won’t miss.
Just remember it was you who did this.
Wow, the one thing you ever got right.
Everything that you lost, me and the fights.
You made me who I am.
Strong and confident.
