Nothing Left to Prove

I used to stay too long Trying to make it clear Turn every accusation Into something you could hear I thought if I explained it One more different way You might finally understand What I was trying to say But some people don’t listen They just wait to reply And I got tired of standing there Defending my own life So keep your version Keep your point of view I know what happened I was there too I got nothing left to prove Nothing left to say You can keep your story I’m not carrying it away Nothing left to prove Nothing left to defend If you need me to be wrong Then let me be wrong in your head I know who I am That’ll have to do I got nothing Nothing left to prove I used to lose whole evenings Replaying every word Trying to fix the picture You already preferred I’d bring you all the details You’d move the line again Truth became a doorway You never wanted to step in And somewhere in the arguing I finally understood You weren’t looking for the truth You were looking to feel good So keep your reasons Keep your evidence I’m done standing trial For your confidence I got nothing left to prove Nothing left to say You can keep your story I’m not carrying it away Nothing left to prove Nothing left to defend If you need me to be wrong Then let me be wrong in your head I know who I am That’ll have to do I got nothing Nothing left to prove There was a time I needed you to see me Now I just need To see myself clearly And that’s quieter Than winning And better Than being believed I got nothing left to prove Nothing left to chase You can keep your judgment I’m not living in that space Nothing left to prove Nothing left to defend You can finish the argument I already left it I know who I am That’ll have to do I got nothing Nothing left to prove Say what you want I’m done answering
