The Time When You weren’t there for me. But I proved you wrong and stayed strong.


We were best friends, girlfriend and boyfriend, also really close. Then I realized that I have changed and you were hurting me. Even though you pushed me around…I pretended to be happy. You meant the world to me, and it hurt to say good bye, When I tried to let you go, it was my plea to be free. I wanted my freedom, I was tired of feeling Trapped And in pain all the time The Time When You weren’t there for me Last year when I met someone new I took a leap and left you But you were jealous and hurt too You turned on me and chose someone new too. You let her control you and get in your head. It didn’t matter what me, your best friend said. It was going too far, and you weren’t backing me up You just stood by, and watched her bully me some more I’ve had it with believing in you, You’ve broken me so much. You turned my friends against me. Thank you so much. You isolated me, and made me feel worthless, and cold. The Time you weren’t there for me was this one that’s being told, You took away my words and turned it to lies. You treated me unfairly and you bruised me badly You caused me anxiety and past clinical depression I knew that I was wrong but I couldn’t stop hurting So when it got too hard, I thought about what I used to do before Before I met you and felt like I was in a dark hole. I took a knife and cut my skin, See these scars? It’s you to blame. But there are a few things you didn’t see and this is what kept me Kept me alive and continuing to believe in me That new person I met about a year ago I love him And I know he cares enough to defend me His name is Jake I call him wildcat. Because in my eyes he’s my hero and truly a protector of me He cares about what I say and how I feel Whenever I’m sad he knows just what to say to make me smile again You may have succeeded stealing my friends but you haven’t stolen what’s Mainly important to me and that’s someone who cares. I have to say this because it’s true you are a monster And I know that I will never love you I fell in love with Jake, My Wildcat. And with him I don’t feel trapped The time when you weren’t there for me. Now I’m Strong and ready to fight My wounds are healed and my heart is whole I won’t let you have control over me I am me and that is never going to change But now I know that I can live without you for one more day You took everything away from me but I came back I am stronger and I am standing strong “Like a Skyscraper” And you can attempt to take me down But I am a warrior who is ready to stand up for what’s right And I’m not giving up without a fight You tore me apart once before, But I’m not going to let you do that again The day I proved you were wrong and stayed strong Was the day when I texted you goodbye and to leave me alone for good You’re no good for me and you’re a jerk I’m happy now that I have someone who really cares, and isn’t you The time when you weren’t there for me Was the day I realized you weren’t good enough for me Was the day when you changed and left the old you behind You’re no good for me, so stop torturing me, And leave me alone. I’m better off without you The day I proved you were wrong and stayed strong Was the day I felt finally free and at peace with myself So thank you for all the pain, and thanks, for leading me to someone Who loves me forever and really truly cares, so have fun with your life and have fun with your heart I know that I don’t have to worry or care about it anymore You are nothing in my heart anymore just hatred is all I feel. But now that I’ve let you go, I’m happy to be free and away from You for good. You were wrong, you said I’d never survive without you But look at me now I’m doing just fine and I’m better without you As of now I have a future, whereas for you, I don’t care, you mean nothing to me anymore The time you weren’t there for me, May still hurt, But today I am strong and better than good The day I let you go Was the day I finally moved on I have peace, happiness and I am loved. The day I proved to you that you were wrong, Was when I stayed strong. I have my love for singing back Not because of you, last year you crushed that But because I am me and I am loved I know what’s best And what I cannot live without. My singing is my freedom aside from leaving you The day I proved you were wrong, Was the day I STAYED STRONG!
