Like You

Now that we've had time
And you've changed your mind
Now that we look back and see
All of the signs
Now I can forgive
But that was for grief
Try to move past it all
Will it ever leave

And after all the hurt we've caused
I try to avoid the cost of looking back
Of looking back
And after all the blame we've placed
It doesn't prevent or erase the feelings we had
Damn those feelings I had

Who was I to begin with, and who am I now?
Does it even matter if I can't get out
I'm stuck in a memory, a habit I knew
You did worse than hurt me
You made me like you

Now I'm on the path to health that will last
At least that's the hope, at least I have that
At most I have me, and at best we will see
At first only you, now at last it's me

Who was I to begin with, and who am I now?
Does it even matter if I can't get out
I'm stuck in a memory, a habit I knew
You did worse than hurt me
You made me like you

I try to relax, I try to de-escalate
You can't make me anything I don't allow you to
If all is a mirror, I'll still hold lots of pain
If only I had half the love for me that I had for you

I need my love now

I need my love now

Now that I've had time, and I've changed my mind
Now that I look back and see
All of the signs
