You lied to me
said you loved me
while pulling the rug
out from under me

You covered my eyes
and said to trust you
even as you drove the knife
further into my back

Moved on so quick
while I still feel sick
thinking of what you did
to me and to them

You have all of them
wrapped around you finger
like a spider you sit
eyes glinting from your web

But I have them with me
those you hurt and betrayed
and we're happier without you
sharing laughter and tea and treats

We insult you where you can't hear
and comfort each other when we cry
I have panic attacks
but I have friends that'll hold me through them

You act like you're righteous
pushing me away
when I cut you off first
but you couldn't be happy

It always had to be on your terms
did you forget
that you spent so much time
begging me to take you back?

One time from you was all it took
for them to all turn on me
so I held my friends tighter
and clamped my mouth shut

They may not believe me
but my friends do
my family does
and my therapists too

You took so much from me
and crossed lines you ignored
said "Oh no, it's fine"
but nothing ever was

You lied to me
you lied to them
lied to everyone
and we all know

You might have them wrapped around you
a few fake tears
and a sprig of nepotism
but I know the truth

And you might have lied
but I'm still standing
made it through the hell
you put me through

And here I stand
a smile on my face
because you'll never get to know
the truth anymore
