Breaking Free: A Heartfelt Journey of Self-Discovery and Liberation
Lyrics
Thought I could share my hopes and dreams with you
Feeling hopeful about sharing aspirations and desires with someone
But you were a fake and dismissive too
Realizing the person was insincere and disregarding
Didn’t think you’d ever do that to me
Surprised by the betrayal from someone unexpected
But you act like shit was so easy
Acting as if causing hurt was effortless
And it hurts more than you’ll ever know
Expressing deep pain not easily understood by the other
It’s not wroth it, so I’ll leave it alone
Deciding to abandon the situation as it's not worth the pain
I just wish you had tried to understand
Wishing for the other person to empathize and comprehend
Wish you thought I was worth a listen
Desiring to be valued and listened to by the person
You broke me down and changed me
Feeling emotionally shattered and altered by the person
We always do the same thing
Recognizing a pattern of repetitive behavior
It’s been so hard to say this
Struggling to articulate a difficult truth
But it’s not something I’ll miss
Not sentimental about leaving this situation behind
Opened my heart again, and look what happened
Having trust and vulnerability lead to negative consequences
Downward spiral, a chain reaction
Experiencing a series of negative events triggered by this trust
You got me caught up thinking you were my person
Believing the person was the right one, now realizing they're the cause of pain
Turns out you’re the reason I’m hurting
Understanding the person's actions have caused emotional distress
Why’d you never have faith in me?
Questioning why the person lacked belief in the speaker
How’d you never see what I see?
Wondering how the person failed to perceive what the speaker sees
I’m tired of you, telling me who I’m supposed to be
Frustration with the person imposing their expectations on the speaker
And no I’m not giving up now
Determined not to give up despite the adversity
I’m sick of your constant doubts
Tired of constant skepticism from the person
Take your opinions and get out
Urging the person to take their judgments away
I’m done with the feelings you bring about
Decisively ending the emotional turmoil caused by the person
You broke me down and changed me
Feeling emotionally shattered and altered by the person (repeated)
We always do the same thing
Recognizing a pattern of repetitive behavior (repeated)
It’s been so hard to say this
Struggling to articulate a difficult truth (repeated)
But it’s not something I’ll miss
Not sentimental about leaving this situation behind (repeated)
Opened my heart again, and look what happened
Having trust and vulnerability lead to negative consequences (repeated)
Downward spiral, a chain reaction
Experiencing a series of negative events triggered by this trust (repeated)
You got me caught up thinking you were my person
Believing the person was the right one, now realizing they're the cause of pain (repeated)
Turns out you’re the reason I’m hurting
Understanding the person's actions have caused emotional distress (repeated)
Opened my heart again, and look what happened
Having trust and vulnerability lead to negative consequences (repeated)
Downward spiral, a chain reaction
Experiencing a series of negative events triggered by this trust (repeated)
You got me caught up thinking you were my person
Believing the person was the right one, now realizing they're the cause of pain (repeated)
Turns out you’re the reason I’m hurting
Understanding the person's actions have caused emotional distress (repeated)
