Eight years deep, yeah I carried your weight Best friend turned into my biggest mistake You said forever like it meant something real Now I see forever was just how you steal Late night drives, crumbs of your time I was your truth, you fed me your lies You kept me quiet, kept her on hold Guess I was warmth while you chased something cold [Pre-Chorus] I saw the signs, I just swallowed the doubt You played me soft, now I’m cutting you out [Chorus] You don’t get me back, not now, not ever You burned that bridge, didn’t think I’d sever You thought I’d wait while you played pretend But I’m not yours to break and mend Go run to her, yeah, live your lie I’m done being yours on the side of your life You lost the one who would’ve stayed through the storm Now I’m the lesson you can’t ignore [Verse 2] Hearts by her name, yeah I saw that screen Don’t tell me “nothing,” I know what it means You said she talks too much, laughed in my face But you made time for her, put me in place You said “I can’t be what you need me to be” Translation: you were too weak to choose me Blamed your past, blamed your pain But hurting me was your comfort zone game [Pre-Chorus] You made me question what I knew was true Now I see every lie was you [Chorus] You don’t get me back, not now, not ever You fumbled real love for something lesser You thought I’d break, come crawling again But I’m walking out like I never knew him Go tell your friends what you wanna say I know the truth and it won’t fade You lost the one who held you down Now I’m the ghost you won’t live down [Bridge – darker / slower] I heard you say you’d never change Guess you were right, you stayed the same Like father, like son, running from truth But I won’t drown in excuses for you You let me go before I could leave Now you’ll never know what you lost in me [Break – rising anger] Yeah I waited outside while you walked her home Now you can keep her—you’re both alone You fed me scraps, I called it love Now I’m rising and you’re not enough [Final Chorus – explosive] You don’t get me back, I’m gone forever You had your chance, you blew it—whatever I’m not the girl who begs you to stay I’m the one who walked away When it hits you late, when it all falls through When she sees the same in you Don’t say my name, don’t call my phone You made damn sure I’m better alone [Outro] Yeah I was yours… now I’m free And that’s the one thing you’ll never be
