Cut the Ties

You used to tell me that I'm useless
That I'd never get too far
Cuz everyone around me knows that I'm a fraud that quits when things get hard
And I believed you for way too long
You got in my head, made me stumble and fall

But I know that
That everything you said was wrong

Now I'm doing fine
I'm taking back my life
From all the pain you gave to me
I don't really know
Just how far I'll go
But you won't be around to see

I hope you're starting to get past this
And that you realize what your words do
Cause everyone around you knows that you're no good and they see the real you
No one believes you or all your lies
It's so pathetic, trying to crawl back to my life

And you know that
That everything you said was wrong

Now I'm doing fine
I'm taking back my life
From all the pain you gave to me
I don't really know
Just how far I'll go
But you won't be around to see

Now you're gone away from me
And I can breathe
Your hands no longer clutched around my neck
I hope that you can see
You wounded me
But scars can fade unlike your ugliness

Now I'm doing fine
I'm taking back my life
From all the pain you gave to me
I don't really know
Just how far I'll go
But you won't be around to see
Now I'm doing fine
I'm taking back my life
I don't really know
Just how far I'll go
But you won't be around to see
