Cutting Ties

Trusting the wrong people, that was a choice,

Believing their words, drowned out my voice,

Actions speak louder, but I was blind,

Loyalty felt real, they had it in my mind.

But they didn’t feel the same, learned that too late,

Thought loyalty was thick, like the bonds we made, 

They let go first, now I’m doing the same.

 

No more begging for a place, no more fighting for time,

If you let go first, I’m leaving you behind,

Had to realize, some things just ain't meant to be,

Used to hold on tight, now I’m finally free,

Not everyone’s meant to stay, that’s the truth I’ve learned,

Lessons in disguise, clearer with every turn.

 

I stopped begging for loyalty, I’m taking my time,

Done carrying the weight of people who ain't mine,

They let go first, now I’m cutting the line,

Stop fighting for folks who don’t match my vibe,

Let go, move on, I'm done wasting time.

 

Some people come, some people go,

But the real ones stay, that’s all I know,

I ain’t got time for the fake or the lies,

No more compromise.

 

I was begging for loyalty, now I see the truth,

You can't fake real love, I was living proof,

Now I’m grown, let go of that weight,

Lessons in disguise, it’s time to elevate.

 

I stopped begging for loyalty, I’m taking my time,

Done carrying the weight of people who ain't mine,

They let go first, now I’m cutting the line,

Stop fighting for folks who don’t match my vibe,

Let go, move on, I'm done wasting time.

 

Cut ties, no more tears, no more pain,

I was stuck in the storm, now I’m clear in the rain,

Real love's rare, I ain't playing the game,

If you ain't riding for me, stay out my lane.

I got my own back, that’s how I roll,

Lessons in the struggle, now I’m learning to let go.

 

I stopped begging for loyalty, I’m taking my time,

Done carrying the weight of people who ain't mine,

They let go first, now I’m cutting the line,

Stop fighting for folks who don’t match my vibe,

Let go, move on, I'm done wasting time.
