_________________________________________________________
I thought that people would change but you proved me wrong
I've been under that spell of yours for far  too long
Until I couldn't differentiate between mirage and true
And I pushed everyone away because I thought they'd be you

I turned my back on all those who really did care
I put up walls around me and I wasn't even aware
I made the mistake of letting you be my earth and sky
I didn't question your motives- didn't even try

So when everyone left, I couldn't ask why

They all left, they stopped returning my calls
Or maybe there's no service behind these castle walls
That's when I realized that counterfeit love only runs skin deep
Only then did I know that you weren't mine to keep

That's when I knew that I needed to break out of this hole
I needed to break free of this damsel-in-distress role
I needed to break free, run away to another place
Disappear to somewhere no one knows my face

It was for the best because I'm happy and whole now
I don't have to give in to your command, be your slave or bow
I found myself and it was the best thing I did
Now watch me leave without batting an eyelid
