Why Did I
Bitterness courses through my veins
Who do you think you are to say the things you say?
I should have never given you the reigns
All these games I’m watching you play.
Who was I to think you had changed?
All these hoops I’ve willingly jumped through
Feeling so stupid with everything I have rearranged
Everyone is broken inside, not just you.
So angry with myself for giving my heart so willingly
All the night I just sat there and cried
I’ve made too many decisions hastily
And as a result, another part of my soul has died.
You’ve had me mind, body and soul
I was just never worth getting that in return
You can’t handle what it takes to make me whole
Today is the day the double standards burn.
