Remember when you tried to treat me like a cheap suit?
I thought I That I was being handled with care
Turns out I was just being used
Threw me in a corner like I wasn’t there
It always felt like I didn’t exist
Didn’t seem to care about a 2 way street
You took the credit and I paid the bills
Always behind you never looked at me
Live and learn
I cut the ties that bind
Can you see me now?
Does it feel like I still have strings
I cut the chain
You go your way and I’ll go mine
Live and learn
Took me this long just to figure It out
Can You see me now?
I’m not saying I’m better than you
I don’t believe I should judge your path
But I know I should walk beside
Not trail behind picking up your trash
I’ve had some time to walk my own line
I know it’s easier to share the load
But nothing in this life is ever free
Gotta pay it back with love when your debt is owed
Live and learn
I’m building my own rail
Can you see me now?
Does it feel like I still have strings
I cut the chain
You go your way and I’ll go mine
Live and learn
Took me this long just to figure It out
Can You see me now?
I’m cutting down my own path now
There’s no telling what’s around the bend
But I’m not waking up again in chains
I’ll make my own way, find my own end
Live and learn
I’ll cut away the weeds
Can you see me now?
Does it feel like I still have strings
I cut the chain
You go your way and I’ll go mine
Live and learn
Took me this long just to figure It out
Can You see me now?
