Look The Other Way

[Synth intro with a catchy, driving beat and finger snaps] [Verse 1] Used to be coffee dates, late night talks on the phone Sharing secrets, whispered dreams, feeling like we're never alone Now your name pops on my screen, and my stomach just drops low 'Cause the sweetness turned so bitter, something I didn't know [Pre-Chorus] He was the common thread, woven through our separate lives Didn't ask for this tangle, just trying to make mine survive I'm not fighting for him, never have, that much is true But the fire in your eyes now, it's all directed at me, it's cruel [Chorus] Judge, I need you to hear me, this has gone way too far Every post, every comment, leaves another ugly scar Public shouting, online threats, painting me a villain in your play All because he's still around, and you can't look the other way [Verse 2] We used to share him, all three of us, a different kind of bond Explored those boundaries together, beyond what most respond My kids know their dad, yours do too, a complicated kind of peace But the anger you're unleashing, it's starting to never cease [Pre-Chorus] He was the common thread, woven through our separate lives Didn't ask for this tangle, just trying to make mine survive I'm not fighting for him, never have, that much is true But the fire in your eyes now, it's all directed at me, it's cruel [Chorus] Judge, I need you to hear me, this has gone way too far Every post, every comment, leaves another ugly scar Public shouting, online threats, painting me a villain in your play All because he's still around, and you can't look the other way [Bridge] Remember sharing everything like your case of HPV? Now the only thing you're spreading is negativity towards me. This protection order's not a weapon, it's just setting me free. [Chorus] Judge, I need you to hear me, this has gone way too far Every post, every comment, leaves another ugly scar Public shouting, online threats, painting me a villain in your play All because he's still around, and you can't look the other way [Outro] Just let me live my life, peacefully and on my own Leave my name out of your anger, let the past be overgrown [Beat fades out with echoing synth chords] Please... just let it go.
