Party of One
Verse 1
You could have been smiling and laughing
But you chose to cry and scream
Things could have been simpler than they are now
But you chose to make them hard
Loving you was like a battle
I had to protect you from you
I grew tired of being your bodyguard
I could no longer control your actions
Verse 2
I weighed my options heavily
I knew there was a choice to be made
Leaving you was not easy
But staying was more difficult
In the end, I'll be more content
I am finally free from you
I couldn't be in your life
You're too destructive
Verse 3
Now I know how strong I am
Because I had the courage to walk away
As painful as it was
I felt that I needed to stay
You said that you loved me
I knew it was a lie because you still harm yourself
I don't regret the decisions I've made
It's time for me to celebrate
Chorus
Once I left, I was feeling guilt
I wondered how I could ever leave you in your time of need
My heart soon became silent
And I started to clear my mind
I did what I had to do
It was now or never
