Mark My Words

Verse 1 You smile in my face but whisper lies in their ears Room goes quiet when I'm near Am I crazy or is it just the end Of a friendship... if there was enough to mend Chorus 1 Mark my words you'll never see me the same again I'm so done playing pretend Mark my words you'll see it's true I'm so done with you Verse 2 I'm one of those people who keeps the faith Holds onto hope and don't rock the boat Guess it's true it only takes one time To finally see the real you show Make no mistake I'm not okay You seem to think it's fine for me to break Laugh it off while I drown inside Then wonder why I pulled away Chorus 2 Mark my words you'll finally see The real authentic side of me But just like that I'm out of sight I'm so done falling for your lies You had my loyalty for years Now all that's left is hurt in here Mark my words this time I mean it I won't stay where love gets weakened Bridge Everyone thinks they know you But I've been watching the real you Underneath the fluff, that deep ugly stuff Backhanded jokes dressed up as love Every time I tried to belong You made me feel like I was wrong And maybe silence says enough 'Cause none of you tried when I gave up Final Chorus (bigger/emotional) Mark my words I won't come back Not this time, not after that I bent till there was nothing left Now I'm choosing myself instead And maybe you'll miss me someday When there's no one left for you to blame But by then I'll be long gone Finally somewhere I belong Ending (raw/spoken) I was running... I was quiet... But I'm not that good of an actor. I kept shrinking myself Just to fit inside your version of friendship. And honestly... I think you noticed me disappearing long before I did.
