People don't want complicated
True feelings are overrated
They see what I want them to see
my face their mirror
never truly me
only the version they want me to be
You understood
I let you in
Let you see me
not only the picture I paint for thee
We called each other family
and still you blamed it all on me
"You are overruling"
As if you weren't the one cutting me back
once you saw what you yourself lack
Treated me as a stepping stool
only for you to become the fool
I apologized a hundred times to you
well now I know what is true
I know the whole story
I am sorry - sorry I made myself worry
worry over you who does not care
I would have given you my all to share
and still you took it all for granted
on my character you blamed it
whilst hiding behind yours all along
I can only thank you for making me strong
