lyrics

VERSE
You changed my name and my address
I wondered what could be next
You had your way/ You had me all alone
Then you taught me how to hate myself
Dependent on no one else but you
To satisfy my wants and needs

My whole life was in your hands
I lost sight of who I am

CHORUS
You must know what you've done to me
But you don't care/ You refuse to see
The hard times you put me through
Am I better off living without you? (repeat)

VERSE
Every night when I close my eyes
I pray for a better life
Better than the one that you give me to lead
Now after all the games you played
You apologize/ Tell me to stay
Where else can I go/ So far away from home?

When you break it all down
The model for myself is you
I do what you say/ Adopt your ways
Forgetting what was true

CHORUS
You must know what you've done to me
But you don't care/ You refuse to see
The hard times you put me through
Am I better off living without you? (repeat)
