Displaced

To be broken by a man I had to convince myself was cute Your age shows when you blame me for the hardships that we faced I admit that I'm ashamed But I guess I know my place, I guess I know my place I told you who I could be Your promises to love me through weren't true, now boy look at you Confirming all my fears, cheers to another failed year My minds all over the place I wish you just could've stayed You promised me strength to deal with my ways But now you say we can be friends I don't wanna hear that from my man When you pulled away, my mind didn't say "tell him to stay" "Don't push him away" But the way that I am is to hurt him before, before he can Now the man no longer can He no longer can I've been displaced To be focused on a plan that doesn't end with me and you I finally feel free to do as I should do Was focused on my rage, had to purge it from my veins I know you tried your best but it doesn't change the pain So cut off the ends, roll up your string, throw it away Go on ahead, forget what I said, here I will stay I'm learning all my fears, here's to a better year I'm slowing down my time I'll be good just give me five You promised me strength to deal with my ways But now you say we can be friends I don't wanna hear that from my man When you pulled away, my mind didn't say "tell him to stay" "Don't push him away" But the way that I am is to hurt him before, before he can Now the man no longer can He no longer can My growth came at your expense Makes me sad how all this went I'm sorry we no longer split the rent And how we now live separate lives I'll become a better woman for the next guy Has to feel unfair in your mind At least we had a hint of time to let our souls intertwine We surely teamed up in this place I miss those lakeside summer days when we were both aligned You promised me strength to deal with my ways But now you say we can be friends I don't wanna hear that from my man When you pulled away, my mind didn't say "tell him to stay" "Don't push him away" But the way that I am is to hurt him before, before he can Now the man no longer can He no longer can I've been displaced
