Let Go/Move Through

You deserve better than grown men who can't communicate their feelings
Say what they need
They disappear or circle back, make you the problem
Say they're confident you the problem to make up for their lacking
Or for you not guessin
Make up for them not speaking on your value

You deserve better than grown women refusing to be wrong
Stuck in their pride
Grown adults hiding, running from themselves
Can't hear about themselves
Tramplin over everyone in the way
No acknowledgement
Praise only, praise me only
Make it picture perfect
Demanding respect, refusing to give it
To see you, to hear you, to hold you
You're learning, reforming, adjusting but they don't have to
What do you know about them?

Baby, loving you is not a chore
You deserve reciprocal love
Mutually beneficial
Love that don't attack when you're
Bathing in your glow
You deserve better than
Than the I don't understand why you're reacting this ways
The you're too much
The demonizing to block out their hurt
Grown men who love you with the lights off

You deserve better than the shutting down
You tryin and you still the problem
While standing your ground or stating your piece
Closing doors and closing hearts at your honesty
At small requests
You don't respond and you still the problem

I just think you deserve better
You have better
Look around you
You deserve better than anyone shaking
Feelin bitter when you honor yourself
Praying on your downfall
Praying you don't step into your power
They wanted the version of you with poor boundaries and tighter lips
The more manageable one
The one who held all their weight
Taking, not appreciating
Deteriorating you, costing your peace, expecting seconds
You vulnerable and you still the problem
You deserve better than the entitlement
Decoding silence
To move toward people who want to do the work with you
Who will show you asking for care isn't a high standard
Love is a two way street
You share your needs clearly suddenly they're mute,
He's mute, she's mute
Like no one's ever been direct with them
Like all they know is games and power play
Push and pull, twisted hearts
Scattered thoughts, mental gymnastics
It might be disappointing to hear but you deserve better
Than fighting for decency
You deserve better
Who are they when they aren't the one in control?

Move through the grief
Move through the grief
Move through the grief

Move through the grief
Come out on the other end
Took a minute to recognize, man
You had some corny friends
Laser focus on the ones
You wanna share your joy, split your dividends
I pray to God and chant three times
You don't let snakes and leeches that close again

They want your energy
They want your spirit
You wasn't hearing' it
You weren't weak then
You aren't now
They want your inner child

I'm so, I'm so glad you stuck around
Both sneakers planted on the ground
A beam, just like the moon
Look up at your reflection now
I said I'm so, I'm so glad you stuck around
Both sneakers planted on the ground
A beam, just like the moon
Look up at your reflection now

Move through the grief
Come out on the other end
Took a minute to recognize, man
You had some corny friends
Laser focus on the ones
You wanna share your joy, split your dividends
I pray to God and chant three times
You don't let snakes and leeches that close again

Move through the grief
Move through the grief
Move through the grief

I pray to God and chant three times
You don't let snakes and leeches that close again
I pray to God and chant three times
You don't let snakes and leeches that close again
I pray to God and chant three times
You don't let snakes and leeches that close again
