Lyrics
You told me I’ll never do any better
If I left I’d lose it all
You took away the shine in the mirror
So I’d lose the sight of my soul
How was I to know I would grow so sick?
Lose my voice, lose my mind
I’m standing on the edge of the wall you’ve built
So unsure of the other side
I won’t play the victim, not for you
I won’t let you see I’m in pain
Get your out of my system of being used
Suck the poison from my veins
I know what I deserve now
And it’s not all the lies you fed me every night
I know the truth now
And I’m taking back all of my stolen light
I won’t play the victim, I won’t play your game
You held the gaslight above my head
To lead my astray
Took all the good parts out of me
And left me to fade away
You didn’t think I’d show my face again
But here I stand, here I stand
You didn’t want to see me rise again
But I’ve become all that you can’t
I won’t play the victim, not for you
You don’t deserve to know I’m in pain
Get you our of my system of being used
Suck the poison from my veins
I know what I deserve now
And it’s not all the lies you fed me every night
I know the truth now
And it’s set me free because I’m learning how to fight
I won’t play the victim, I won’t play your games
I am no longer scared or afraid
I have grown stronger and you can’t take that away
Now I know this is better left behind
Now I know you are better left behind
