I refuse to be your victim


Why must I blame myself 

For things I can’t control 

Why did I fight so hard for you stay 

Just for you to run away 

I begged you to stayed 

While you made up reasons,

 for why you had to run away 

But yet I still blame myself for sleeping outside

And letting you belittled me & treat me as less than 

Jus cus you gave me somewhere to stay 

For you leaving me when I thought we was good 

You picked the most weirdest moments to leave 

When I gave you plenty opportunity to leave 

You came to me 

When I was far away 

You took that drove & made me your 1st stop 

Filled me up with them lies ,

Telling me how u wanted to work on us 

Just to turn around & do it all over  again 

Just for me to end up begin your last stop 

Tell me how dis don’t make me a Fool 

My heart never stop skipping for you 

My mind always think of you 

Letting you go was hard to do 

But you let me go without a doubt 

As if your feelings weren’t valid 

Had a nerves to accuse me of doing you wrong 

When you was doing you on the slide 

Talking to god knows who 

So how is this my fault 

I blame me over & over again 

You made feel as if nothing I did would make you happy 

Is seems like you was always upset with me 

I couldn’t be on my phone or hang around family or friends 

In the end you still didn’t see 

I was down for you 

I was blind for you 

You was blind of me 

You came up with this idea of me 

& soon as I didn’t match that’s when you picked & picked 

Until you tear me down where I have nothing 

You tried to take my life with your car 

Only to turn around and play victim 

Dat left me shattered

But I refuse to be your victim
