I'm Done Caring


You must’ve lied,
When you promised to be my best friend.
Sworn to secrecy,
My life was in your hands.

Chorus:
You’re coming to me crying,
Expecting my shoulder to lean on.
I can’t provide it,
I don’t know who you are.
I’ve ripped you from my heart,
I’m done caring.
You threw everything in the fire.

What did you think would happen,
When you want me to live in the past
Instead of embrace my present,
And become who I was created to be?

Chorus

And you seem to think that
I’m going to love you until death,
When you threw my ex in my face
And said my replacement is more beautiful than I am.

Chorus

I’m the one that’s grown up,
Stopped with the adolescent drama.
Now I’m snipping the ties,
You can run to your boyfriend.

Can't Be Found

The sky falls down,
And I’m feeling blue.
I miss your love,
And the touch of your lips.

Chorus:
Now you’re gone,
Forever and always is no more.
My heart’s in a box,
Locked away where the key can’t be found.
Don’t trust in love,
I’ve built walls so I can’t be found.

You made me promises,
Held me at night,
Made me think it could go on like this.
I used to believe you.

Chorus

Romance,
It’s overrated and leaves one jaded.
Kisses under the stars are dreams.
No longer following, chasing the butterflies.

Chorus

Can’t be found.

Release Me


You came riding in, on a chariot.
Your own special horse-drawn-carriage.
There was a crown, upon your brow,
Made me think you were my Prince Charmin’.

Chorus:
But now, I’m asking you
To release me.
You trampled my heart
Upon the ground.
So, I’m through with you,
Want to move on
And be over you.
Release me.

The only thing true about fairy tales,
Is that there are dragons
But I can fight them,
I don’t need a man to come and save me.

Chorus

I’ve no need for you,
I’m not plain, I am extraordinary.
My mama taught me to rely on myself.
You can go be the prince for someone else.

Release me.
You trampled my heart,
And I want to be through with you.
So release me.

Hold Your Hand


You tell me that
I need to start taking care of myself.
I’m not a mother,
Reel in how much I nurture.
My friends aren’t my responsibility,
They can make it through life on their own,
Find their own way.

Chorus:
So, I’m not gonna hold your hand.
I’m no longer your guide,
Stop thinking of me as your angel.
I don’t need all this drama
That you’re laying down at my feet.
It’s time to move on,
Don’t hold on to me like a child.

You think that you’re helping me,
But reality check
Is that you’re holding me back
And the words you say, the way you act
It’s all detrimental.
Grow up and find yourself,
Instead of telling me you’re jealous of my life.

Chorus

I’m not gonna hold your hand,
Don’t hold on to me like a child.

I'd Go Back


I close my eyes,
And you’ve returned
No longer using life as a disguise.
I’ve missed you during all this time,
And letting you into my mind
Is foolish, but worth it.

Chorus:
You broke my heart
And I’ve worked hard to bury your memory.
Your love, wasn’t worth my love.
But for one moment,
I’ll dream of going back—
Just to be completely happy again.

I’m forgetting what it was like
To be held in your arms
And the smell of your skin.
Do you remember how we
Used to fit like puzzle pieces,
Out limbs locking into place, sticking like glue?

Chorus

I’ll take the hurt and the pain,
If that means I can go back in time,
Relive our reverie.
The old you was not a knight in shining armor,
But the kind of devil that could
Lure me in with just one breath.

Chorus

For one moment,
I’d go back.

Forever Crazy

I hear your name,
Someone says it and it acts like lightning,
Striking and sending an electric current,
A power surge of emotions and memories through me.
And I’m running without an end.

Chorus:
When it comes to you,
Even though you’re a presence,
I wish to keep in the past,
I become an utter mess,
Go a little insane,
Always, forever crazy.

Gave you my heart, gave you my love
You became the foundation of every wish and dream.
You never tried hard but got in my head,
Now your memory is the haunting phantom
That I’ll never escape.

Chorus

I’m trying to move on, maybe replace you
I know I need no one, I’m independent.
But then somehow, you come back in my mind
And I become weak, thinking that I need you again.
I’ve got pride, and my heart won’t break me.

The past is where you are to stay,
To always drive me, forever crazy.

Won't Go Back


Last year, I probably would’ve said yes.
Take you back even if it couldn’t work.
Deal out multiple second chances.
So I could always hold onto you.

Chorus:
But now, you wouldn’t know me
I’m no longer the same
And I’m not going back to who I was,
And even though a piece of me
Still loves you like an everlasting flame,
I won’t go back, no I ain’t going back.

Press rewind and take in all the memories,
Nostalgia’s a bitch, don’t I know it.
Hear people talking about hurt and pain,
And all of them think staying and returning is going to be worth it.

Chorus

Don’t come crawling to me,
I won’t care if you bring me flowers, begging on your knees.
You may think my heart’s grown cold,
Truth is, I just did what I had to, became stronger.

Chorus

I won’t go back to me and you.

Not Gonna


I don’t hear you.
I don’t see you.
And then there you are;
I’m not gonna hide.

Coming in, you want to fix things,
But there’s not much that you can do,
After you smashed my heart like broken glass.

Chorus:
There’s no fixing to what you broke before.
There’s no changing back after all this hurt.
I’m not the one that made you my world.
I can’t let you in, I’m done giving chances.

Some of my friends,
All agree, you’ve downgraded.
What does the other have to offer
When I gave you everything?

People have it in their heads,
That I’m gonna take you back,
But I’m smarter than that.

Chorus
