A new face won’t erase the scars an old face created
Needing sedation after seeing your fingers on the trigger
You can’t put a bandaid over a bullet wound and expect to heal
I can’t kneel at your feet any longer
Begging for forgiveness that was not mine to ask for to begin with

My self-worth is more than your fake affirmations
Conversations of romance
Only blanketing your true intentions
Deception has never looked so beautiful

I’m checking my messages for any discrepancies
I have a tendency to overthink things
But this wasn’t my fault
And to think that I exalted you
Saw something in you worth praising
I’m debating claiming temporary insanity
Because clearly I was wrong

I’m moving on to someone who values me
Who allows me to think freely
Instead of hindering me
The difference between what I want and need
A fine line you can no longer impede
I was never your property

I’m done letting you play operation on me
Picking at my anatomy
Curiosity got the best of you
The adrenaline rush of a scalpel got the best of you
I will no longer bleed for you
Let you see my deepest wounds
Being vulnerable only leads to trouble
I can’t buckle under pressure any longer
I’m stronger than you thought
Trying to use my weakness against me
Trying to use me against myself
But it didn’t work
I’m stronger than you thought
