Just to tie me down

But you loved me for the girl i was Not the girl i am nor the girl i was becoming Not loving me with my flaws But loving me for my flaws So together you can tie me down You wrapped me in your poisonous arms And whispered sweet nothings in my ears You suffocated me with your toxic charm And made me believe it was love that i feared You loved me for my brokenness For the shards of my shattered dreams You loved me for my vulnerability For the weaknesses that made me scream You loved me for my dependence on you For the way i couldn't breathe without you You loved me for my loss of identity For the way i lost myself in you But I'm breaking from your toxic grasp I'm learning to love myself,to heal, to mend I'm finding my voice, my strength, my way And I'm leaving you and your toxic love to decay Your love was a prison, a chain that bound But I'm shattering the shackles,I'm spreading my wings I'm flying awag from your toxic embrace And I'm finding my own way , my own pace
