Complicit
Don't know how I missed it,
How I got so complicit,
How I overlooked those parts of you.
And now I'm in danger,
The man I love turned into a stranger,
And I'm starting see we've got more problems than a few.
Holy F%ck do I feel stupid.
How did I even do this?
How did I let this happen to me?
And I still feel like it's my fault,
I'm so bad at being loveable that you've gotta launch this assault,
But really it wouldn't even matter what I do.
I know I'm terrified to leave,
But there's been less love than there has been grief,
Now I can tell I've got no future here with you.
I don't know how I missed it,
Or how I got so complicit,
But hey, maybe I can forgive myself for that.
I just need to figure out who I am without you.
Don't know how I missed it,
How I got so complicit,
But hey, That's OK -
Because now I'm figuring out who I am, without you.
