Lyrics:

When you first said yes... I thought that was special
You said it and I thought I'd found the one
I ignored everyone said you were outta my league
Shut them all out, you said we'd have fun

Three years later, and two were a mess
And I kept ignoring the signs
Thought that I had to keep fighting to keep you
But the truth is you were never mine

Not for the reasons you'd think, that's not it
It went deeper than that and I knew
The craziest part wasn't that it happened at all
But that it took me so long to do

I had myself thinking there'd be no one else
Nobody would want me as theirs
and you leaned into those fears within me
told me that no one else would care

But...
I've found strength in myself, it took me so long
to break down my walls and get through
To know that the very best part of me
Is realizing I don't need you...

My friends had grown distant after we got together
I thought they had all gone mad
I knew in my heart I'd give all of my love
Never hurt you or make you sad

But slowly the cracks began to show up
I denied it, pretended not to see
Fought against every fiber of being that
you were keeping me from being me

Little things you said would crush my spirit
I'd shake them off and not feel
'cuz that would mean it was control you were after
and that our love wasn't real

You got off on that power, everyone else was right
but how could I get past my pride
But telling myself I was doing my best to show we would last..
I lied.

I lied to myself, and I lied to my friends,
to my family and to the world
I took all the crushing you did to my soul
Just so I could still have the girl

I had myself thinking there'd be no one else
Nobody would want me as theirs
and you leaned into those fears within me
told me that no one else would care
But...
I've found strength in myself, it took me so long
to break down my walls and get through
To know that the very best part of me
Is realizing I don't need you...

It was my best friend from school who finally did it,
Had to almost slap me awake
And force me to take a good hard look in the mirror,
Show that both of us had been fake

You weren't in love with me, not really, not ever
but you sure had my self-esteem marked
Knew I was vulnerable and pounced like a cat
thinking I'd be grateful on the journey embarked.

And I was at fault for blinding myself
Not admitting that I couldn't do it
Couldn't hold a couple together even when
I was the only half of us trying to get through it

Trembling with fear and afraid of the future,
I changed the locks on the door
And the key to my heart that I had given to you,
Well.. that ain't fitting no more

I had myself thinking there'd be no one else
Nobody would want me as theirs
and you leaned into those fears within me
told me that no one else would care
But...
I've found strength in myself, it took me so long
to break down my walls and get through
To know that the very best part of me
Is realizing I don't need you...

As hard as it was to walk out and leave,
my friends they all understood.
And I might be single for a long time to come,
But at least I know now...
...I'm good.
