I was honest to the bone, got burned every time Spent a lifetime giving kindness to the ones who paid with lies I bent myself in half just to keep the peace Learned the hard way who disappears when you bleed I gave my best to people who smiled and turned away Learned real quick what they never say Life gets heavy when you carry it alone So I stopped explaining things to people who won't know Hate me if you want, I don't care anymore I won't change who I am just to fit through your door It is what it is, I made peace with that Zero fucks to give, and I'm not looking back You can talk all night when I'm not around I'm staying busy building something real on solid ground I'd rather stand alone with my truth intact Than bend my spine again just to earn you back I was good to those who stabbed me, watched them smile and leave Sat through all the gossip, every quiet scheme I learned to stand alone when the love was thin That's when I stopped letting everybody in I walked through rooms full of noise and grins Felt alone in crowds, even next to friends Hate me if you want, I don't care anymore I won't change who I am just to fit through your door It is what it is, I made peace with that Zero fucks to give, and I'm not looking back You can talk all night when I'm not around I'm staying busy building something real on solid ground I'd rather stand alone with my truth intact Than bend my spine again just to earn you back Every scar I earned reminds me what's real Every lesson learned cost blood and years I don't hate nobody, I just don't pretend I learned where I stop, and where I end Hate me if you want, it's fine with me My hands stay dirty, my mind stays free It is what it is, I won't explain that shit Zero fucks to give, yeah, I live with it I didn't lose my heart, I just drew the line And for the first damn time, the life is mine
