Dear Old Me
Embracing the New Me: Unveiling the Complex Layers of Self
Lyrics
I been waiting patiently
I have been patiently waiting.
Heard you wandering aimlessly
I heard you wandering aimlessly.
Held my breath so you can't breathe
I held my breath to exert control over you.
Love to bring you to your knees
I enjoy having power over you and bringing you down.
I like it when you talk back
I appreciate it when you respond assertively.
I like when you get mean
I like it when you display aggression.
I like it when you bark like a b**** when I put you on a leash
I enjoy it when you act submissive, like a metaphorical leash.
You can try to do better since you don't wanna leave
You can try to improve, but since you won't leave, it's challenging.
I guess I shoulda knew better, I can't get away from me
I should have known better; I can't escape from myself.
I can't get away from me
I cannot distance myself from who I am.
Don't need to get away from me
I don't need to distance myself from who I am.
I won't get away from me
I won't distance myself from who I am.
Cause I'm the only
Because I am the only one.
I'm done playing victim to the old me
I refuse to be a victim of my old self.
She never really knew me like I know me
The past version of me never truly understood me as I do now.
I was never lonely
I was never truly alone.
Didn't need controlling
I didn't need to be controlled.
Baby if she knew me now she'd see that I'm the only
If she knew me now, she would see that I am the only one.
I'm done playing victim to the old me
I refuse to be a victim of my old self.
She never really knew me like I know me
The past version of me never truly understood me as I do now.
I was never lonely
I was never truly alone.
Didn't need controlling
I didn't need to be controlled.
Baby if she knew me now
If she knew me now.
Such a pretty, pretty little backstabber
Referring to someone as a deceptive person.
With a pretty, pretty little black dagger
Describing a deceptive person with a dangerous tool.
Kind of tricky cause the knife's in my back and hers
Highlighting the complexity of a deceptive relationship, with no apparent harm to oneself.
But my back don't hurt
Despite the deception, I am not affected.
I like it when you talk back
I appreciate it when you respond assertively.
I like when you get mean
I like it when you display aggression.
I like it when you bark like a b**** when I put you on a leash
I enjoy it when you act submissive, like a metaphorical leash.
You can try to do better since you don't wanna leave
You can try to improve, but since you won't leave, it's challenging.
I guess I shoulda knew better, I can't get away from me
I should have known better; I can't escape from myself.
I can't get away from me
I cannot distance myself from who I am.
Don't need to get away from me
I don't need to distance myself from who I am.
I won't get away from me
I won't distance myself from who I am.
Cause I'm the only
Because I am the only one.
I'm done playing victim to the old me
I refuse to be a victim of my old self.
She never really knew me like I know me
The past version of me never truly understood me as I do now.
I was never lonely
I was never truly alone.
Didn't need controlling
I didn't need to be controlled.
Baby if she knew me now she'd see that I'm the only
If she knew me now, she would see that I am the only one.
I'm done playing victim to the old me
I refuse to be a victim of my old self.
She never really knew me like I know me
The past version of me never truly understood me as I do now.
I was never lonely
I was never truly alone.
Didn't need controlling
I didn't need to be controlled.
Baby if she knew me now
If she knew me now.
