338. Know Me Better

(Verse 1)
I used to be so hung up on you
I lost myself trying to love you
Now I realize that you weren't worth it
And that it's time that I get over your shit

I always had my attention focused on you
But i'mma keep doing what I like to do
'Cause I ain't neglecting myself anymore
Yeah, I'm not the same way I was before

(Pre-Chorus)
I was always trying to drag you into my life
But I've decided that I don't need you to survive
And I'm leaving all the memories for you to keep
'Cause I'm no longer gonna be falling in deep

(Chorus)
I'm not gonna try to get us together
From now on, i'mma get to know me better
No, I won't hold back on them tears
'Cause I learned from them these past few years

I'mma love myself before I can love you
I just wanna know me better like I used to
I'm not afraid to be alone without your touch
'Cause i'mma learn not to miss you so much

(Verse 2)
I used to believe in a stupid fantasy
All while forgetting about my reality
I thought I could make it, if I had you
But i'mma go ahead and do something new

I always got high off of my emotions
Had a hard time going through the notions
It was all way too difficult to believe
That I had some memories to leave

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Choked on so many of my words
Forgot what I was working towards
That it became so hard for me to breathe
And it all just dragged me underneath

But now, I'm putting myself first
And realizing what I'm worth
All without having to depend on you
You're no longer part of my view

(Chorus)
