Blocked the light, I lacked the luster
Black and white, all out of color
Couldn't see nobody else but you
I think to myself and wonder
I could leave you for another
Then I would be just as low as you
Caught up in a daze, I lost myself in you
Suddenly awake and now I know the truth
Said that you'd be there for me
But if you really care for me
You would let me go or cut me loose

Release your hold on me
I don't wanna waste my time
I don't wanna dim my light
Cause whatever's filling you is draining all of my energy
Regain control of me
I don't wanna give it up
Don't you think I had enough
Rediscovering everything your loving took away from me

Every card I drew with you was made for me to lose
I would've left some time ago if better's what I knew
If you love me let me go
cnd if it's real I'll let you know
Gave my all with nothing left for me
I knew it from the start
Right here in my heart
You took advantage of me like a pawn up in your scheme
Baby I was a burned
You're a lesson learned
I need to unlearn the way you programmed me to be

Release your hold on me
I don't wanna waste my time
I don't wanna dim my light
Cause whatever's filling you is draining all of my energy
Regain control of me
I don't wanna give it up
Don't you think I had enough
Rediscovering everything your loving took away from me
Oh yea
Yea
Boy you know I loved you
But I love me more
