Joking about an ex if she came back
Years of misery not finding peace
The life he wanted came up short
Happened for someone else
Feeling cheated going strong
Focused on truth not accepting lies
Trying to be the same keep it together
Everything changed learned to adapt
Able to adjust never feeling enough
Giving everything to get things done
Hard work paying off moving up
Good things happening new roles
Not feeling robbed by sneaky fakes
Wished her the best moved on
Doing what's best living life
Taking in the moment to the fullest
Making them count full of potential

He was friends with the errie darkness
His heart was feeling the soothing cold
Taking in the deep silence feeling relaxed
Away from the world that rejected him
Walking through the life alone
Told never go against the family the family that betrayed his trust
The black sheep that go disrespected
Writing about those who wronged him
Being honest with liars and cheaters
Saw good in others They proved him wrong
Getting older seeing things differently
Looking out for others
The cheater tries to talk to you about  being loyal
They'll gaslight you easier to walk away

Free from the death grip
Escaped the burdening weight
No longer empowering the evil
Healed from being emotionally crippled
Taking back control feeling free
No longer in the chaos walked away
Not responsible for others actions
Those emotions that dictate behavior
Feelings that are wild with no respect
Never an equal over being ignored
Fighting for a place still don't belong
Family has love but feels forced
Blood means nothing truth is everything

Stopped comparing living life
Got tired of complaining just doing
Not my crowd it's okay to say
Never going to see eye to eye
Never come to terms or agree
Working hard to survive
All the talk not listening anymore
Walked away tired of waiting around
Had your back take your knife back
A stabbing pierce of betrayal
Seen what you stand for
Can't be apart of that and you

Always wanted to be normal
After a failed relationship its easier to be single
The silent treatment from family because communication is limited
Working hard to better the situation
From many friends preferring to be alone
Change and growth learning those life lessons
Trying not to complain make the most of things
At the bottom moving uo in ranks
Not a lead but helping make progress

Trying to do right everything went wrong
It went from a crush to a fling
Not knowing where things would end up
It was over before things got started
A ***** secret hidden from the world
Why can't it be in the open
The love felt had so much pride
On the outside looking in what if
Why can't we be friends anymore
How did this start where did it go wrong
Scenes in the mind stuck on a loop
Trying to remember for understanding
So many x factors not there anymore
Not in that place there's no going back

He helped everyone didn't expect much
Or want anything in return
Use to being disappointed by expectation
Knew what it was like to be set up to fail
Use to wear his heart on his sleeve
Doing his own thing thing
If others benefit it was a bonus
Starting  over learning the basics
Building on a leveled foundation
