Lose You

Better Off

Lose You

I sit and laugh now,

The audacity you had to play in my face.

Always performing like you don't know how.

You should've stayed in your place.

Should've been quiet,

While I shine.

What are you attempting' to pry at?

Attempted to take what's mine.

This is self made,

You can't find a me anywhere else.

I will never fade.

You will continue taking L's.

Losing me is sad,

I rung so many bells.

I don't feel bad.

I told you 1,000 times what was wrong before I left.

My words rolled right off of you;

They went straight through you.

You thought I had no self respect.

Little do you know I was never below you.

I stooped down to your level,

Waiting for you to rise,

But I found myself in trouble.

I set up for my own demise.

All is well now.

I've learned how to take a bow.

When it's time to move,

It's time to move.

I see now it's time to lose you.
