Leverage

There was a time when I was wrapped around her finger
But I've unwound since then
Forced to come up on my own
In spite of all those things she did
Those things she said, and all those lies she spread
I don't fret them anymore
They've depreciated
The lies take their toll
Don't hold their value like they used to
Just let go

Why say these things?
(Make a game out everything)
Why pull these strings?
Why even try to make it hard for me to let you go?
You play the victim when it's clear that you're at fault
And ruined everything we use to know

It doesn't come as a surprise that you would handle it like you did
Hell, I expected less, and now it's driving me insane
That you're the one who got away
From all the judgements and the blame
While I'm left trying to reclaim
All these little pieces that you've made
Thought distance would be my ally
But he stabbed me in the back instead

Why say these things?
(Make a game out everything)
Why pull these strings?
Why even try to make it hard for me to let you go?
You play the victim when it's clear that you're at fault
And ruined everything we use to know

Used him as your leverage, just another pawn in your defense
Used him as your leverage, just a worthless pawn in your defense
I never saw it coming

Why say these things?
(Make a game out everything)
Why pull these strings?
Why even try to make it hard for me to let you go?
You play the victim when it's clear that you're at fault
And ruined everything we use to know
