they say i move on too quickly
like that means you weren't special
nobody asks me if i'm happy
all of these boys replace one another
but that doesn't mean
i love one more than the other

i spread love onto the world
that i can never give it to myself
'cause i was taught to hate who i am
so why do you fault me
for trying to please someone else

they say i use people and that i lie
i'm always the only one on my mind
but they don't see me when i cry
when i hold myself alone at night

how can you blame me
for finding your replacement
would you rather have me
lying on the pavement

crying for you?
begging for forgiveness?
hurting myself
for your own entertainment?

i won't be sorry
for trying to fix
something you broke
and how i choose to do it

i hold myself now
i'm in control
i'll love everybody i want to love
i'll stop when i want to

but i'll still write about you
'cause you used to be
someone special in my life
and i'll remember you all
'til the day that i die
