My Thank You

*My unsophisticated attempt to spread the feminist word around. Enjoy!*

I hate to say it, but thank you

You made my world more open

Gave me experiences I could never see

But you are no longer my mistake I can’t live without

It’s too late

You took me for granted

You thought I’d always be there

Never thought I would have enough

It was like a fairytale

Until you broke down my castle

All I remember is the pain

Don’t know why I had it

But days passed in a haze

What a waste of a phase

Thank god it is dead and gone

I remember I could just wander all day

Put my heart on my sleeve

I can’t do that anymore

Cause you broke through my defences

Broke my heart in tiny pieces

(Chorus)

But I gotta thank you

For hurting me

For watching while I cried

Cause I’d never have what I have right now

I’d never be this strong

I wouldn’t see the world for what it was

So I guess this is my thank you to you

First, there was the honeymoon phase

You could no wrong

Boy was I wrong

We were gonna be together forever

I wrote in on the walls

The day we first met

I really regret it now

Then, you began to change

You started to scream

To hit

To force

And you became the mistake I couldn’t live without

Finally, I lost it

I called the cops

And you were gone

And I began to sing:

This is the end

Of you and me

And the beginning

Of just me

And I gotta say

Just me is pretty good

Everything after that is history

You watched while I cried

Then, when I was about to snap

You spoke with a golden tongue

You were gonna change

You loved me until the end of forever

Yeah right

(Chorus)

But I gotta thank you

For hurting me

For watching while I cried

Cause I’d never have what I have right now

I’d never be this strong

I wouldn’t see the world for what it was

So I guess this is my thank you to you

Love till the end of forever

Yeah I’ll consider it

Just not with you

(Chorus)

But I gotta thank you

For hurting me

For watching while I cried

Cause I’d never have what I have right now

I’d never be this strong

I wouldn’t see the world for what it was

So I guess this is my thank you to you

No more bruises

No more screams hidden behind the door

Never again

Never in a million years

Never again

Your world’s on fire

No I didn’t set it

Though I would have loved to

You set it on your own

Every bruise

Every single time

Did you ever think of karma?

The flames are going higher

The flames getting hotter

And your world’s breaking apart

Hmmm

Whenever momma told me revenge is sweet

I didn’t know it was gonna be this sweet

What a phase

So glad its over

Me and You

Never again

Just me

And just you

Much better than me and you

Oh so much

(Chorus)

But I gotta thank you

For hurting me

For watching while I cried

Cause I’d never have what I have right now

I’d never be this strong

I wouldn’t see the world for what it was

So I guess this is my thank you to you
