Self Worth
Nothing I do will change things no matter how hard I try
Sometimes the only option you’ve left me is to say goodbye
Sometimes no matter what I do it will never be enough
Letting go seems harder but holding onto hope is tough
No matter how much I prove I’m worthy of the love you say you feel
The reality of it all is becoming more real
Sometimes you’ve got to accept what’s love got to do with it
Something quite ironic now don’t you think about your sense of wit
Sometimes you’ve just got to be done and value your self worth more
As trying to stay in this is beginning to hurt more I’m sure
No matter what I do to show you it will never be enough
Testing you and asking questions to see if I can call your bluff
But once you’d taken your stance
The reality was I never stood a chance
I’m not the type of women’s to hang onto the little bits you give
Life wasn’t made to be miserable it was made to live
When you gave me a million reasons to leave I always chose to stay
But now you’ve left me with no other way
As each choice is painful no matter the path I take
But pride and self worth on one journey compensate
So that’s it I’m done and I’m worth so much more
It’s time to walk out that door
And as one door closes they say another one is ready to be open
I refuse to settle for less and I’ll forever remain outspoken
Because I won’t change who I am or what I know I’m worth
Even though I was willing to move heaven and earth
I won’t settle for less
If I’m not seen and appreciated or important at your own address
Nor will I allow space to create confusion from your words which lead me to second guess
What I will do is pack up and move out
Rather than sit in doubt
If you can’t step up then please baby it’s now time to step out
Because in all of this I was the one who was consistent ,loyal and honest throughout
So if that’s what your willing to refuse
Then it will be you who will lose
As what I give you’ll search for in others But you’ll never find
Because baby boy I’m definitely one of a kind
So if you want to let me walk away go ahead and I’ll leave
But when you look for me there will be no reprieve
Don’t come back when you realise what your missing
After you’ve been so dismissing
As I can promise I won’t be there to be found
After all What goes around comes around
And I wasn’t born to play games and be apart of this playground
If loving me from a distance Is what you need to do
Then I’m sorry for your loss but that’s all on you
