Living Through Your Words

I was living through your words.
I couldn’t speak,
I didn’t know how to.
Everything I ever knew, I learned from you.

But this time is different,
This time I call the shots,
I’m the one in charge.

This is my life, not yours,
And I won't let you bring me down
Ever again.

I'm not her anymore,
So stop trying to suck me back in.
I won’t let you control my life.

That broken girl is gone,
And I won’t let her come back.
There is a reason why she’s in the past.

Yeah I’ve changed,
But I changed for the better.
So don’t bother with the old me,
She isn’t here any longer.

I was living through your words,
But I won’t anymore.
I couldn’t speak,
But now I can.
Everything I ever knew, I learned from you,
And you have made me that much stronger.

So take back your words
Because I don’t want them.
I’m not that broken girl anymore,
So don’t treat me like I am.
Because I’m done living through your words.
