My mind is occupied lately
Of ******* that **** me up,
My inner demons are controlling me
They can’t shut up;

All the words you said
Keeps on running through my head
All the things we did
Cannot seem to leave my head

All the places we’ve plan of going to
Now I go visit them all alone
All my friends I talk to
Keeps on asking why you’re gone

Now I realize what you did to me
I know I’m no longer that fool
That will be easily fooled
Because baby, you cannot fool me

I am not a puppet on your strings
For you to manipulate me,
I am not a magnet
For me to stick around.

I have a pair of wings
But you cut it and stole from me,
I chose to live in regret
Now I came back without a sound,

The blood in my veins
It stains, remains and I’m in pain
It came from the blood of a sinner
He was once my lover,

Our relationship should be a two-way street
Cause we should take what we both give
And give back what we took
Oh, it is a two-way street.

Life’s not always well like this
Don’t just live in a world like this,
Don’t just give and give
You also have to take and take.

You don’t have to live in a cruel life
It gives you bitter strife,
Just don’t give and give
You also have to take and take;

He told me I was his everything
I was his happiness,
I treated him like a king
But I was only his temporary happiness.

I am trying to pick up the fragments of myself
That’s been shattered also by myself
And bringing back the pieces together
Now I don’t believe in forever

If what we had is already over
I just had the chance to remember
Oh, I’m already back to my old self
I built you up, you tore me down

I don’t want to give up, I ain’t going down

You can’t fix me
cause only I can fix myself
You can’t complete me
Only I will be responsible for myself

You no longer love me
Only I can love myself
If you can’t choose me
I will choose myself

If you can’t make me your priority
Only I can prioritize myself

I don’t need you
I don’t want you
I only need myself with me
I only want peace within me
