I Won'T
I won't sit here
and let you win
Time after time
it seems to never end
You made me hurt
the loved ones around me
Things were so blurry
that I couldn't see
See that I was losing
what really mattered
Realizing if I let this continue
people's lives will become shattered
I won't sit here
no longer
I need to let you go
in order to become stronger
I can't continue
to let you have control over me
I need to let you go
in order to believe
Believe
that I can trust again
Trust that people won't give
up on me until the very end
I can't give up
and give in
And sulk
on what might have been
So you can
stop thinking you have complete control
And give up
so I can begin to fill this hole
You no longer
control my every thought
My every move
whatever it was you sought
This is where
it all comes down
No longer
will my smile turn to a frown
This is where
I say don't
This is where
letting you have control
I won't
