I'm not finished, im not done We're in no hurry, baby, we're still young I have more to say, more to do you cut me short, as if on cue I was mid sentence, caught up mid stride You cut me deep, acted like you had a free ride Drove away with my all on board I tried to hurt you back but its a double edged sword my words hurt me, now I'm back on the floor when I was with you my heart, it soared as I lie here cut up and open  trying to feel scarred, yet im still broken to look at your face, its such a disgrace you were never really there; a ghost in your place respect me you say, but respect you did not you took what was not yours and gave none back watching and waiting but I never crack Spat at my back and then in my face respect me you say, but respect you did not you took it too; the secret that was all mine  now the knife hovers there just over my spine  I lay watching and waiting for that final word And this torment, well it's absurd end it for for me, just say the word scream it, yell it, dont let it go unheard how I gave you the power, the power to me  i gave almost all, i gave to you freely I take nothing back, for what I said I felt  looking in your eyes, though I still melt  respect me you say, but respect you did not I'm a new person, with new feelings to give trust doesn't mean I've lost my chance to live I'm allowed to breathe, but I'm still mad  how worthless I was you, the power you had its worthless now;  its back here match me, kiddo, I kicked it up a gear.

respect me you say, but respect you did not
I'm not finished, im not done We're in no hurry, baby, we're still young I have more to say, more to do you cut me short, as if on cue I was mid sentence, caught up mid stride You cut me deep, acted like you had a free ride Drove away with my all on board I tried to hurt you back but its a double edged sword my words hurt me, now I'm back on the floor when I was with you my heart, it soared as I lie here cut up and open  trying to feel scarred, yet im still broken to look at your face, its such a disgrace you were never really there; a ghost in your place respect me you say, but respect you did not you took what was not yours and gave none back watching and waiting but I never crack Spat at my back and then in my face respect me you say, but respect you did not you took it too; the secret that was all mine  now the knife hovers there just over my spine  I lay watching and waiting for that final word And this torment, well it's absurd end it for for me, just say the word scream it, yell it, dont let it go unheard how I gave you the power, the power to me  i gave almost all, i gave to you freely I take nothing back, for what I said I felt  looking in your eyes, though I still melt  respect me you say, but respect you did not I'm a new person, with new feelings to give trust doesn't mean I've lost my chance to live I'm allowed to breathe, but I'm still mad  how worthless I was you, the power you had its worthless now;  its back here match me, kiddo, I kicked it up a gear.
So, I know I'm not the best rhymer in existence, but I gave it a shot and I do know that I changed the rhyme scheme partway through :)
