Here we are once again, I should have seen it coming,/ You say your here to stay but you always end up running,/ Away from your emotions, and away from the real,/ You hide from it all because you don't know how to feel,/ You say you want love, do you know what that is?/ Have you ever really felt love, the kind that gives you chills,/ Do you only sit on the surface, cuz the ocean seems too deep,/ Do you refuse to climb the mountain, cuz the journey looks to steep,/ I waited at the peak, in hopes you would find the courage,/ But your words kept you grounded, until you were fully buried,/ You dug the grave you are standing in, instead of taking action,/ Fill that hole with the words you kept thinking would be distracting,/ I'm still standing at the peak, because I never gave up,/ I built myself a good state of mind, working on myself,/ I had all the time in the world waiting for you,/ To actually show up, which you chose to never do,/ I Used to yell form the mountain top,/ "I Love You"/ Now I'm screaming to the ground below,/ "I Don't Need You"/ I've learned to care for myself, in the absence of you,/ You didn't care about me, now I, don't, care, what, you, do./ You were an echo in a canyon I outgrew,/ Every word you said just circled back to you,/ I kept a fire lit in case you’d find your way,/ But I got tired of burning just to watch you fade away,/ Now I see it clearer from the height I had to climb,/ All the doubt you planted never really once was mine,/ You were scared of the mirror, of what you might face,/ So you covered it with distance, every step you’d erase,/ I was reaching through the silence, trying hard to understand,/ While you built another wall I couldn’t break with my hands,/ I mistook your hesitation for a wound I could heal,/ But you can’t save somebody who won’t try to feel,/ Now the air is getting lighter every breath that I take,/ No more waiting on a version of you that was fake,/ I was holding onto hope like it was all I could lose,/ Now I see the only thing I needed, was to choose,/ I don’t hear your voice in the wind anymore,/ Don’t see your shadow standing at my door,/ What I thought was love was just me holding on,/ Now I know the difference, now you’re gone,/ I used to yell from the mountain top,/ “I love you,”/ Hoping somehow it would finally reach you,/ Now I’m screaming to the ground below,/ “I don’t need you,"/ And the silence finally tells me that it’s true,/ I’ve learned to stand alone in what I built without you,/ Every piece of me I lost, I finally grew,/ You didn’t care about me, I see it clearer in view,/ Now I, don’t, care, what, you, do,/ No I don’t, no I don’t, need you,/ There’s no more waiting at the edge of your return,/ No more lessons that I needed you to learn,/ I was fighting for a future you denied,/ Now I’m walking forward, leaving you behind,/ So if you ever climb the mountain that you feared,/ And face the parts of you that disappeared,/ You won’t find me standing where I used to be,/ I found something stronger,/ I found me,/ Yeah I found me,/ At the peak,/ finally free./
