What Did I Do
You had me pegged from the beginning,
you knew exactly what you were doing.
You knew exactly how to take advantage,
how I let it happen, I cannot manage.
All the distance you put between us,
now looking at myself with such disgust.
I ignored all the red flags,
now trying to find the strength to pack my bags.
Believing you really cared,
telling myself I had no reason to be scared.
Trying to make me feel like I was the cause of all of our problems,
acting like you had no part in them.
Trying to find out why I am not worthy of love,
but only as a stepping stone for someone else to get above.
So tired of always being used,
What did I do to deserve to be mentally abused?
