I let you fool me once You call it a cure, but I call it sickness I let you win once Rest assured, I won't let you again Try to shame me for who I am Want me to change just to fit your vision But no one can fix what isn't broken So I'm just gonna try to stay golden I thought your words sounded prophetic like sage advice But now your empty threats Only come off as pathetic Trying to lead me to a light that only shines inside your mind You're like a lighthouse leading ships astray What "works" for you just will not work for me I was willing to admit you were perfect in my eyes I was willing to look up to you I was hoping you could still be a reason to keep hope alive When it was nowhere in sight Now you're saying that you can't approve? That these last almost twenty years mean nothing to you If I follow my heart and strive For light in the dark? How is that not what you wanted from the start? Before I grew a spine and moved on with my life I would go to bed covered in bruises Self-inflicted Beat myself up over something that shouldn't make sense I guess I'm one of the dead men that they said could still keep a secret I was willing to admit you were perfect in my eyes I was willing to look up to you I was hoping you could still be a reason to keep hope alive When it was nowhere in sight Now you're saying that you can't approve? That these last almost twenty years mean nothing to you If I follow my heart and strive For light in the dark? How is that not what you wanted from the start? Never again will I let you win Never again will I let you slither your way into my head I won't deal in your false doctrines Never again will I let you win Never again will I let you slither your way into my head I won't deal in your false doctrines I won't let you win
