Lyrics
For so many years, you had full control
Knocking me down, crushing my soul
Naively I thought your words were the truth
Instead they were signs of the sickness in you
A sickness that poisons all that you touch
Smothering everything in your tight clutch
Nothing around you's even alive
Wilted from anguish, cannot survive.
Don't mess with my mind
You are the king
of being unkind
You know it's true
You do
Get out of my heart
Don't mess with my head
Look at yourself in the
Mirror instead
And face the truth
We're through
Cause I am way too much for you
And you are not enough for me to
Live this way
So go away
I'm too good for you
Now that I'm gone and free from your spell
Escaping a lifetime sentence from hell
I saw what you did, I heard what you said
Sprung from your trap, and angry instead.
An anger that shapes me but never defines
Gives me the strength to live outside the lines
Joy that I feel will never be yours
I bask in the victory of all I've endured.
Get out of my head
Don't mess with my mind
You are the king
of robbing me blind
You know it's true
You do
Get out of my heart
Don't mess with my head
Look at yourself in the
Mirror instead
And face the truth
We're through
Cause I am way too much for you
And you are not enough for me to
Live this way
So go away
I'm too good for you
I get to walk away
No longer a pawn in the game you play
Leaving you clueless and blind
You can deny it
But I'll always stand right by it
The truth cannot be confined
Get out of my head
Don't mess with my mind
You are the king
of crazy defined
You know it's true
You do
Get out of my heart
Don't mess with my head
Look at yourself in the
Mirror instead
And face the truth
We're through
Cause you are not enough for me
And I am way too much for you,
So go away
Run away
I'm way too good for you
