lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to think that this was different love
I always thought it would get easier
When I found the one I loved.
I used to think you'd play the perfect part
But nothing lasts forever,
And without you my heart is better.

[Pre-chorus]
I'd hope and pray
That you would treat me better
Now my heart has seen brighter days
No more patterns of pain, no no
My mind is free it doesn't get easier
Somewhere deep down inside I knew
That I'd get through

[Chorus]
And for the first time
I'm closing doors
And turning tables in my life.
There's no more pressure
I don't belong to you
And I deserve better.
I figured why should I be punished
For loving you
I watched you walk away
As time stands still.

[Verse 2]
Retiring from fantasy
No more lost hopes and dream
You didn't think about me
But I was too blind to see
Your dirty secrets
They appealed to me
Now I'm stronger than ever
Curious mind - be free

[Pre-Chorus]
I'd hope and pray
That you would treat me better
Now my heart has seen brighter days
No more patterns of pain, no no
My mind is free it doesn't get easier
Somewhere deep down inside I knew
That I'd get through

[Chorus]
And for the first time
I'm closing doors
And turning tables in my life.
There's no more pressure
I don't belong to you
And I deserve better.
I figured why should I be punished
For loving you
I watched you walk away
As time stands still.

For the first time
I'm closing doors
And turning tables in my life.
There's no more pressure
I don't belong to you
And I deserve better.
I figured why should I be punished
For loving you
I watched you walk away
As time stands still.
