Your games, I played them all Now it’s just memories of what could have been if I could control when I fall You charmed me just to break me into peaces and let me down So I thought the right thing to do was mask your decision as “healing” and “my own **** call” When I know very well if you wanted me I would stay and lick every gun in your arsenal That day I asked you to quit me why didn’t you saw? That if you didn’t left me I would never shut you out? Like a dog in a leash you had me but I cut the chord So now all my days go by and you watch it from a skyline And you keep controlling this string that still to this days pulls me in But I got a big knife now They handed me over when I screamed as loud as I could into the void They gave me so the next time I shouted would be from freedom You won’t catch me this time, now that I know better than keep you around I’ve trained, I’ve grown, and one slip it’s not enough to make me stay I told you I woudn’t rest until I’m the one winning in the games I play I got a self to recover, a queen long lost into the hard days and beach waves One day you might even remeber me, I know you will Like an adventure, something brutal and catastrophic that once touched you shores But I’m far gone, even if in time you wished i had stayed.

Your games, I played them all Now it’s just memories of what could have been if I could control when I fall You charmed me just to break me into peaces and let me down So I thought the right thing to do was mask your decision as “healing” and “my own **** call” When I know very well if you wanted me I would stay and lick every gun in your arsenal That day I asked you to quit me why didn’t you saw? That if you didn’t left me I would never shut you out? Like a dog in a leash you had me but I cut the chord So now all my days go by and you watch it from a skyline And you keep controlling this string that still to this days pulls me in But I got a big knife now They handed me over when I screamed as loud as I could into the void They gave me so the next time I shouted would be from freedom You won’t catch me this time, now that I know better than keep you around I’ve trained, I’ve grown, and one slip it’s not enough to make me stay I told you I woudn’t rest until I’m the one winning in the games I play I got a self to recover, a queen long lost into the hard days and beach waves One day you might even remeber me, I know you will Like an adventure, something brutal and catastrophic that once touched you shores But I’m far gone, even if in time you wished i had stayed.
