I Almost Forgot

I almost forgot who I was once you broke me I let the lies you whispered to get between my thighs light a flame to all of my hidden insecurities For a second I let you win I almost forgot who I was before you Never again will I let a guy take a way the respect that I have for myself I used to think I was perfect before you Used to wonder everyday why I wasn't taken Now you have me doubting myself Thinking that I couldn't find no one else I smile now cause I know that i'm back you were just a bump in the road without a map I was lost while I was with you I believed in every word like it was the bible I don't know what happened to my caution flags I don't know how you got me to pull them down But until today I almost forgot that I am desired I almost let your eyes tell my heart what to see I still spin around in the mirror and I love my body Even when a get a little thick I know there's a guy that will love these hips Love these love handles Your opinion means nothing I almost forgot that important detail What matters most is what I think So i'll never let a man brain wash me again into thinking that i'm beneath him cause i'm a queen and he should serve me I almost forgot that
