i left you down at the end of things
wondered if you could see me wandering
out of your sight
now that i know what was happening
i’m trying to put it all behind me
but your face keeps showing up everywhere i go

all of the fights that left me stuttering
led to late nights that left me questioning
why i mattered so much to you but also meant nothing at all
my legs are sore from impulsively stumbling
through the maze of my mind as i spent time scavenging
for a way to take all the blame and pin it on me

so fuck you
you changed the way i think and act
even when you’re not around
no i don’t love you
i thought i did but i just loved the way you
made me feel safe and sound

to keep my sanity, i’ll cut you off and call this the end of things

the way it went you wouldn’t suspect anything
it seemed just like a friendly old fashioned rivalry
that left me full of doubt
you took every chance you could to destroy me
you tore me down and ruined my self esteem
but i still crawl back to you because that’s what you trained me to do

so fuck you
you changed the way i think and act
even when you’re not around
no i don’t love you
i thought i did but i just loved the way you
made me feel safe and sound

for my humanity, i’ll cut you off and call this the end of things

and i, i’d forgive you in heartbeat
if you, you just admitted you were sorry
i confess that i would wait a bit
to see if you were bluffing it
because i know you enough not to fall into your trap

so fuck you
you changed the way i think and act
even when you’re not around
no i don’t love you
i thought i did but i just loved the way you
made me feel safe and sound

to get some clarity, i’ll cut you off and call this the end of things
