I'm not competing with you any longer.
I can't keep up with your tricks;
you lost my love like you lose your temper
Hardly at first, then rapid like wildfire.
The wild fire that I was once compared to
it now runs through your every action with them
And burns our bond to the ground, little by little.
I'm not competing with you any longer.
I can't support your insecurities any more
than you can pretend not to see mine.
My heart breaks, but you all step on the pieces.
I'm not competing with you any longer.
Stay if you want. Leave if you don't.
I won't care any more.
I've cut my heart out for you and burned it
In the fire you once compared me to
The passion that once burned in me
I'll rekindle it for someone else.
I'm done competing with you.

I'm not competing with you any longer.
I can't keep up with your tricks;
you lost my love like you lose your temper
Hardly at first, then rapid like wildfire.
The wild fire that I was once compared to
it now runs through your every action with them
And burns our bond to the ground, little by little.
I'm not competing with you any longer.
I can't support your insecurities any more
than you can pretend not to see mine.
My heart breaks, but you all step on the pieces.
I'm not competing with you any longer.
Stay if you want. Leave if you don't.
I won't care any more.
I've cut my heart out for you and burned it
In the fire you once compared me to
The passion that once burned in me
I'll rekindle it for someone else.
I'm done competing with you.
