Free from Something Beautiful by Emily Taylor Kelso

I've said it before and I'll say it again
Only this time I really mean it
This is the end

While I'm gettin' clean, you'll be gettin' messed up
'Cause life without me just ain't good enough
And you're the one who screwed up

And maybe it's true that you're still on my mind
I gave out all my chances, but you just left me behind
So I'm picking my heart up off the floor
So you can't kick it around anymore
For all those years, I couldn't see
But now I'm free

You can try and try, oh but I won't reply
'Cause I know exactly what you'll say
And I just don't care

All this time we were living a lie
You never knew how much I needed you
'Cause you were never there

And maybe it's true that you're still on my mind
I gave out all my chances, but you just left me behind
So I'm picking my heart up off the floor
So you can't kick it around anymore
For all those years, I couldn't see
But now I'm free

Why did you have to lead me on?
What made you think my heart was that strong?
I could've given you everything
Now you're nothing more than words to sing

And maybe it's true that you're still on my mind
I gave out all my chances, but you just left me behind
So I'm picking my heart up off the floor
So you can't kick it around anymore
For all those years, I couldn't see
But now I'm free

I've said it before and I'll say it again,
This is the end
