You met me twice,
Then lost me all at once
How could you not notice
The same chemistry?
How could you not realize
That she had pieces of me?
Or were you blinded by your ego
And your false claims of being a leader?
You came too close
Almost wore me down
But I took you off
Like a torn-off dress
You dropped too many flags
All were red, none were green
I rest my case
There's no reason
To run from love again
It's easier to hide the key
Than the whole treasure
You tried to win my affection
To hang it on your wall
But I tore it down
Once I knew it was a scheme
Did you take me for a fool?
For someone who can't breathe
Unless you're here?
There are a million versions of you
Somewhere down this road
But that's not my destination
Do you feel proud now
To lose someone who really cared?
That's another level of ignorance
You showed her the best of you
The best you once showed me
Just before everything went dark
You can't place me on a shelf
And go looking for something better
Can't you see?
I was never a shelf, I was a home
That you made sure to burn
To the ground
You dropped too many flags
All were red, none were green
I rest my case
There's no reason
To run from love again
It's easier to hide the key
Than the whole treasure
You tried to win my affection
To hang it on your wall
But I tore it down
Once I knew it was a scheme
Did you take me for a fool?
For someone who can't breathe
Unless you're here?
There are a million versions of you
Somewhere down this road
But that's not my destination
Go ahead, tell them the truth
Tell them why I really left
Or would you rather play dead?
You know what you did
There's no reason to be reminded
Don't play a game you can't win
You dropped too many flags
All were red, none were green
I rest my case
There's no reason
To run from love again
It's easier to hide the key
Than the whole treasure
You tried to win my affection
To hang it on your wall
But I tore it down
Once I knew it was a scheme
Did you take me for a fool?
For someone who can't breathe
Unless you're here?
There are a million versions of you
Somewhere down this road
But that's not my destination
