Gaslit

(I chose life)
(I chose life)

I chose my life, I couldn't stay
I chose my life (I choose life), and chose to walk away
I should have blocked the first fist, that you threw
I should have run the moment that I knew

I sealed my fate that first day
I knew I'd have no voice, but fearful I still stayed
I learned, and learned quick, to let you be
The leader of all things, or your wrath I'd see

I was gaslit without knowing what was going on
Gaslit until I realized something was truly wrong
I chose my life (I choose life), I couldn't stay
I chose my life (I choose life), and chose to walk away

You kept your anger hid, so nobody would see
But when the door was shut, your mask came off with me
You tried to make me think, that I was crazy
And when that failed to work, you worked on my family

Gaslit without knowing what was going on
Gaslit until I realized something was truly wrong
I chose my life (I choose life), I couldn't stay
I chose my life (I choose life), and chose to walk away

You talked a good game; had others by your side
So why'd you need me, to willingly abide
Were you afraid your house of cards would fall?
Because you knew I'd seen the writing on the wall
Of course the day came, when you lost control (you lost control)
You tried to take my life, take my very soul
But what you didn't bargain for, or didn't see was that I still had a lot of fight in me

I was gaslit without knowing what was going on
Gaslit until I realized something was truly wrong
I chose my life (gaslit without knowing), I couldn't stay
I chose my life (gaslit without knowing), and chose to walk away
I chose my life (I choose life), I couldn't stay
I chose my life (I choose life), and chose to walk away

(I choose life) gaslit without knowing
(I choose life) gaslit without knowing
