Cut The Ties
Breaking Free: Overcoming Lies and Taking Control
Lyrics
You used to tell me that I'm useless
You were once critical, suggesting I lacked value.
That I'd never get too far
You doubted my potential, claiming I wouldn't achieve much.
Cuz everyone around me knows that I'm a fraud that quits when things get hard
People around me perceived me as someone who gives up when faced with challenges, influenced by your negative portrayal.
And I believed you for way too long
I accepted your criticism for an extended period.
You got in my head, made me stumble and fall
Your influence affected me, causing me to stumble and fail.
But I know that
Despite this, I now realize your statements were incorrect.
That everything you said was wrong
I've moved past your negativity, and things are improving.
Now I'm doing fine
Currently, I'm doing well in life.
I'm taking back my life
I'm reclaiming control over my life.
From all the pain you gave to me
Referring to the emotional pain inflicted by you.
I don't really know
Uncertain about the future but determined to move forward.
Just how far I'll go
I don't know the extent of my success, but you won't witness it.
But you won't be around to see
Your absence ensures you won't witness my progress.
I hope you're starting to get past this
Expressing a hope for your personal growth beyond this situation.
And that you realize what your words do
Encouraging self-reflection on the impact of words.
Cause everyone around you knows that you're no good and they see the real you
Highlighting your negative traits visible to others.
No one believes you or all your lies
No one believes your deceitful words.
It's so pathetic, trying to crawl back to my life
Your attempt to re-enter my life is seen as pathetic.
And you know that
Reiterating the realization that your previous statements were false.
That everything you said was wrong
My life has improved despite your negativity.
Now I'm doing fine
Currently, I'm in a positive state.
I'm taking back my life
Reclaiming control over my life from the pain you caused.
From all the pain you gave to me
Referring again to the emotional distress caused by you.
I don't really know
Uncertain about the future, but you won't witness my journey.
Just how far I'll go
Expressing determination to move forward without your presence.
But you won't be around to see
Your absence ensures you won't witness my progress.
Now you're gone away from me
You are no longer a part of my life.
And I can breathe
I can now breathe freely without your negative influence.
Your hands no longer clutched around my neck
Your controlling grip on me has been released.
I hope that you can see
Hoping you recognize the harm you caused.
You wounded me
Acknowledging the emotional wounds inflicted by you.
But scars can fade unlike your ugliness
Scars may heal, but your negativity is enduring.
Now I'm doing fine
Reiterating the positive state I'm in despite your past influence.
I'm taking back my life
Reclaiming control over my life from the pain you caused.
From all the pain you gave to me
Referencing the emotional pain inflicted by you.
I don't really know
Uncertain about the future, but you won't witness my journey.
Just how far I'll go
Expressing determination to move forward without your presence.
But you won't be around to see
Your absence ensures you won't witness my progress.
Now I'm doing fine
Reiterating the positive state I'm in despite your past influence.
I'm taking back my life
Reclaiming control over my life.
I don't really know
Uncertain about the future, but determined to move forward.
Just how far I'll go
I don't know the extent of my success.
But you won't be around to see
Your absence ensures you won't witness my progress.
