You put on a show
You don't think anybody
Will ever know
And it worked for sometime
But now that time is up
And you're not on my mind
I know I should have stayed more aware of it
But you flooded up my mind
Until there was no room left inside
And I guess I never realized
But my mama knew, and my daddy tried
To tell me I should run away
But it hurt when I tried
I wish I would have realized
When it truly mattered, should have read the signs
Now I know where my purpose lies
It took some time
But now I'm glad I said goodbye
And it's no surprise
That the first time we talked
You had another girl in mind
And though it's been hard
This is the happiest I've been
In such a long time
I've forgiven you so you should just get on with it
But it's hard to see your side
When all you made me do was cry
And I guess I never realized
But my mama knew, and my daddy tried
To tell me I should run away
But it hurt when I tried
I wish I would have realized
When it truly mattered, should have read the signs
Now I know where my purpose lies
It took some time
But now I'm glad I said goodbye
We are only human
We learn from our mistakes
Everything happens for a reason
That's how I know I'll be okay
Though it's hard at the time
I know I'll be just fine
You don't define me
I'm more than what you think
I'm coming out of hiding
So much more than what you see
You only ever wanted one thing
And now you don't even have me
And I guess I never realized
But my mama knew, and my daddy tried
To tell me I should run away
But it hurt when I tried
I wish I would have realized
When it truly mattered, should have read the signs
Now I know where my purpose lies
It took some time
But now I'm glad I said goodbye
