Resuscitated Resilience: Finding Self-Control in the Wake of Betrayal
Lyrics
I would say you put me through hell
I experienced significant hardship because of you.
It was more of a realisation
I came to a realization rather than a mere experience.
You were cutting my life support
You were negatively impacting my life.
Now I am resuscitated
Now, I have been revived or recovered.
No need for an antidote
I no longer need a remedy or solution.
I’ve washed away every last hope
I have let go of all expectations or optimism.
Don’t say I wasn’t enough
Don't claim that I wasn't sufficient or worthy.
You kicked me when I was down
You took advantage of my vulnerable state.
Left me on the ground
Abandoned me while I was struggling.
One day, I’ll be nobody’s scapegoat
Someday, I won't be blamed or used as a scapegoat.
I’ll have a dose of self control
I will gain control over my actions and emotions.
You threw me away
You discarded me.
Like I was nothing
Treated me as if I had no value.
Go ahead and forget me
Feel free to erase me from your memory.
Now I’m cornered but I’ll break
Despite feeling trapped, I will overcome the situation.
All my walls if you’d do the same
If you reciprocate, I'll break down my emotional barriers.
You never do the same
You consistently fail to reciprocate my feelings.
I always knew you’d let me down
I always expected you to disappoint me.
Left me on the ground
Left me alone while I was struggling.
One day, I’ll be nobody’s scapegoat
One day, I won't be unfairly blamed by anyone.
I’ll have a dose of self control
I will gain control over myself.
You threw me away
You discarded me.
Like I was nothing
Treated me as if I had no value.
Go ahead and forget me
Feel free to erase me from your memory.
Eye for an eye
Retribution – an equal response to your actions.
I’d rather be blind
I'd prefer not to see the consequences of your actions.
You’re in my head
Your influence is pervasive in my thoughts.
You’re in my head
-You hate me
You despise me.
But you fucking made me
Despite your dislike, you played a role in shaping who I am.
