Backfire.

Set the blame all on me
Saying it’s all my fault
Scared the reason that they’re gone
Was 'cause I’m just to quick to flee
But when I think back to you
Back to everything you’d dwell on
Bring back how you treated me wrong
I’m proud I found my breakthrough
Was done with trying and crying and acting like I was okay with the things
you’d do
But inside slowly got lonely and smokey I choked on the tea that you kindly brew
Believe it’s pretty clear to see
Behind the reason our lost bond
Broke it faded into the dawn
Was 'cause you mistreated me
No longer will your words weigh over me
You had me questioning my own abilities
Prohibiting me from mastering
You were only worried of where my potential would lead
Would lead
Would lead (oh)
Took me time to recognize
The poison in me you’d inject
The toxic fumes that you’d sweat
Which would only grow in size
Convincing me that you were wise
Claiming that you were a threat
Controlling what opinions were let
Inside of my uneasy mind
You would scream louder for power felt prouder when you tied 'round our fingers
like a ring
Felt more like handcuffs caught locked up had enough took the key then you
would try tightening
Weed out those with hissing eyes
Warnings with me the affects
Where were all your benefits
Staying by you had no prize
Things we’d swear
Never there
Lies elsewhere
They’re nowhere for me to see
Unaware
If you care
It’s unclear
With that glare what you think of me
No longer will your words weigh over me
You had me questioning my own abilities
Prohibiting me from mastering
You were only worried of where my potential would lead
No longer will your words weigh over me
You were only worried of where my potential would lead (oh)
My potential will lead me
To a better destiny (oh)
