Thanks For Nothing

Verse 1 I played the hero while you sharpened the knife, Held you together while you tore up my life. Every red flag, I painted it white, Called it love while we constantly fought every night. I was your shelter, your target, your cure, You wanted devotion but never gave yours. I swallowed my anger, kept feeding the flame, While you took what I gave and forgot my name. You only missed me when you needed attention, Only said “love” when you felt the tension. I carried your damage, defended your lies, Now I’m seeing the truth without tears in my eyes. Pre-Chorus You made me feel disposable, Replaceable, invisible. But I’m not crawling back again This is where your control ends. Chorus So thanks for nothing, Thanks for wasting all my time. Thanks for teaching me that love Can wear a mask and still look kind. I’m done bleeding For somebody who won’t see me. You wanted everything I had But you never appreciated me. Post-Chorus Never appreciated me! Never gave a damn about me! Now you can watch me walk away You don’t get another piece of me! Verse 2 I’m tired of chasing affection like a dog on a chain, Tired of mistaking manipulation for pain. Tired of women who say that they want something real, Then punish the man who admits what he feels. I’m tired of giving one hundred percent To somebody giving me ten with resentment. Tired of apologies dressed up as blame, Tired of losing myself in somebody else’s game. Maybe I’m bitter yeah, maybe that’s true, But bitterness grows when it’s watered by you. I bent until breaking was all I could do, Now the man in the mirror is finally breaking through. Pre-Chorus You made me feel disposable, Replaceable, invisible. But I’m not crawling back again This is where your control ends. Chorus So thanks for nothing, Thanks for wasting all my time. Thanks for teaching me that love Can wear a mask and still look kind. I’m done bleeding For somebody who won’t see me. You wanted everything I had But you never appreciated me. Bridge Maybe love was never the enemy… Maybe I just kept handing my heart To people who liked watching it break. I confused being needed With being loved. I confused surviving you With being strong enough. Not anymore. Breakdown I GAVE YOU MY TRUST! YOU FED ME YOUR LIES! I GAVE YOU MY HEART! YOU LEFT IT TO DIE! NO MORE EXCUSES! NO MORE “MAYBE”! YOU HAD EVERY PART OF ME AND STILL COULDN’T APPRECIATE ME! Final Chorus So thanks for nothing, Thanks for burning down my faith. I kept begging for affection While you kept spitting in my face. I’m done bleeding, I finally found a reason to leave. You can keep your empty promises You’ll never get the rest of me. Outro I don’t hate love. I hate what I allowed it to turn me into.
