I gave you the power to destroy me
and that's exactly what you did.
I was alone every night.
You must have forgotten that I was just a kid.
You ripped out my heart repeatedly
and then acted like it was you who was bleeding.
I wasted my life holding on to the possibility that one day you would change.
I didn't know then that it was all just a game.
Now I don't know what to do with myself.
You're laughing it up while I'm going through hell.
I let you manipulate me and make it all worse.
But this time I'm not coming back no matter how bad it hurts.
You can throw your hateful words around and tell everyone I'm horrible.
I can live with that.
Just as long as you know that it won't bring me back.
You never deserved to be a parent.
You were always too selfish to love another human being more than yourself.
I hope the truth eats you alive when you're sitting in hell.
You can tell your lies and pretend that you're a decent person.
But at the end of it all, my kids are still gonna love me while you're alone and hurting.
I hope you forget what I look like and remember how I loved you.
Too bad you won't miss me until you burn your last bridge and have no one to protect you.
I hope you choke on every cruel word that you ever spoke to me.
My only regret is that I won't be there to see.
You'll never abuse me again.
You're never gonna take what's left of me.
