I hoped I’d never be back here
10 years in, I thought we were in the clear
But I always said anything can end at any time
And now here we are, thanks for proving me right
Now I have to fucking start all over, on my own, all alone
Back at square one but a decade older, and I’m fucking tired
Isolated myself, and so solitude I got
I swear I’m ok, so why is my stomach in knots?
I’m not devastated, just in despair because I know
that no one really cares
Still, I didn’t let it break me, I couldn’t let another emotionally drain me
I’ll have to be okay with this, go it alone, no choice but to embrace it
I kept myself mentally prepared for any situation, nothing is stable
You can’t trust anyone but yourself
So now that this time has come, I’m not completely surprised
You threw it away, you threw it away
Maybe I’ve put up walls, but now I see it was for good reason
I guess I was right to guard my freedom
