What I Am

Looks like you're back in my life trying to do the right thing.
You can’t break what has already been broken.
Lessons I learned not too long ago. I feel bad but not for you.
But I will welcome you with open arms because I know things have changed.
So many things have changed...

I learned how to be a liar and a better one than you.
I learned how to break those little hearts too.
I chose to walk through your door.
I won't be making that mistake anymore.

Studying the thousands of reasons why I didn’t know what to do.
The poverty of my imagination shocked me.
Guess I missed everything the first time, but I know better now.
I won't hate you for what you put me through.
But you were wrong to think I wouldn’t learn to be just like you.
Do you remember the lies you told me? Or do you suffer a short term memory?
Loving you again will be so much fun.

I learned how to be a liar and a better one than you.
I learned how to break those pathetic hearts too.
I chose to give you my heart before.
I won't be making that mistake anymore.

 I go out at night now too. And no, I won't tell you what we do.
Yes, I keep a straight face when I lie about who I’m talking too.
I remember the times I hesitated; the suspicion killing me inside.
Watch as I shift the blame on you when I am the one who is wrong.
And I know now; I won’t put myself in your place.
Let's do this all over again. Now you'll really see me.
So much has really changed.

And this is only the beginning.

I am all I can ever be.
