I don’t like red anymore, I like blue, I love blue now

Because it reminds me of the opposite of you
Everything I shouldn’t accept
Everything I shouldn’t do
The mistakes I need to avoid because they led me to you
And yea it was fun while it lasted
Until things got drastic and I didn’t know where to go
Because who you were all along was starting to show
You told me you would never change but I would.
Warned me from the beginning that I would never be the same
Made me almost lose my fucking mind and I’m the one to blame
Threatened my life
Called me names
Provoked me to get a knife
But that evoked no shame
But now you don’t come around
Because you love your life
But when mine was being played with you loved that, right?
“STOP FUCKING PLAYING WITH ME”
“WHY DID YOU JUST MUSH ME”
“DON’T RAISE YOUR FUCKING HAND AT ME”
Cause you could see the fear in my eyes
You could hear the fright in my voice
But you couldn’t feel the rage inside
Or notice that the right to survive is my choice
Cause you’re only gonna make me feel small but for so long
Not going to continue to take advantage of my anxieties and use them against me
Now, Only have one time to make me feel like I’m doing the wrong
Cuz I’m not about to keep singing the same ole song
It started off right then everything went wrong
Cuz them red flags all along
Inside crying for affection and attention
While all he had was I’ll intentions
Never meant to make me feel strong
Deplete all of my energy and use it as his own
But it’s ok now, I’ve learned my lesson
Won’t look at red the same, but damn this was a blessing
