Where You Left Me
Breaking Free: Rediscovering Self-Worth After Heartbreak
Lyrics
I don't know what to say or where to start
The speaker is unsure how to articulate their feelings or where to begin.
How I thought we fell in love or how I opened up my heart
Reflects on the process of falling in love and being emotionally vulnerable.
You promised you were different and that you felt the same
The partner assured the speaker of being different but later contradicted this promise.
It's crazy how fast things change
Expresses surprise at the rapid change in the relationship.
Cause you want me only when you want me
Highlights the partner's selective interest and attention only when convenient for them.
But when I need you you're not there
When the speaker needs support or presence, the partner is absent.
But when you call or text I come running over
The speaker responds promptly whenever the partner contacts them.
I just wish that you could see how that ain't fair
Expresses the desire for the partner to understand the unfairness of the situation.
And I know my worth but I let you walk all over
Despite knowing their own value, the speaker allows themselves to be mistreated.
So I'm done with games and sitting on your shelf
Decides to stop participating in emotional manipulation and games.
When you broke my heart that's what set me free
Realizing that the heartbreak was a catalyst for personal liberation.
Now I won't be where you left me
The speaker asserts their decision not to remain where they were abandoned.
It's been so long I can't remember when
Reflects on the passage of time since feeling genuinely happy.
The last time that I felt this good or felt like me again
Describes the return to a sense of self and personal contentment.
I tell myself I'm strong enough from what you put me through
The speaker convinces themselves of their strength to withstand past hardships caused by the partner.
I'm better off on my own than running back to you
Believes they are better off alone than returning to the unhealthy relationship.
Cause you want me only when you want me
Reiterates the partner's pattern of selective attention.
But when I need you you're not there
Points out the absence of the partner when needed.
But when you call or text I come running over
Despite the unfairness, the speaker still responds to the partner's calls or texts.
I just wish that you could see how that ain't fair
Wishes for the partner to understand the imbalance in their behavior.
And I know my worth but I let you walk all over
Despite self-awareness, the speaker permits mistreatment from the partner.
So I'm done with games and sitting on your shelf
Declares the end of participating in manipulative behavior and being used by the partner.
When you broke my heart that's what set me free
Realization that the heartbreak facilitated personal liberation.
Now I won't be where you left me
The speaker asserts their decision not to remain where they were abandoned.
I used to blame myself for what you done to me
Prior tendency to blame oneself for the partner's actions.
But now I know all the lies you made me believe
Acknowledgment of the lies told by the partner that were believed in the past.
I might of given you my all but you won't get the best of me
Determination not to allow the partner to take advantage of them anymore.
Now when you want me I won't come running
Decision not to respond immediately when the partner seeks them.
And when you need me I won't be there
Choosing not to be present when the partner needs them.
When you call or text I'll just change my number
Intention to sever contact by changing the contact details.
Cause I see you never really cared
Recognition that the partner never truly cared.
And I know my worth and damn I know I'm worth it
Asserts knowledge of self-worth and refuses to be treated poorly.
And you will never see my sitting on your shelf
Declares independence from being objectified or used by the partner.
When you broke my heart that's what set me free
Realization that the heartbreak led to personal freedom.
Now I won't be where you left me
The speaker reiterates their decision not to remain where they were abandoned.
Now I won't be where you left me
Reasserts the resolve not to stay in the same place where they were left by the partner.
