You

You....
You think that only you can know what's best for me
You think you're it and can't admit..that's not what I believe
I told you we were over such a long long time ago
Now you've taken care of me in a way only you know

You....
You never knew I'd learned about true happiness
I was free as I walked out your door, although I'd failed your test
You thought I would come back to you as I had done before
Now in your way you've brought me back to you forevermore

Chorus
You took all that I had
Then you took a little more
Ironically I'm happier
Than I've ever been before
I carry a sense of peace
That you will never find
Because before I left I know I lived
With love and laughter in my mind
Not like you

You....
You've got my pictures scattered everywhere, as though you give a damn
I see them now; I can see your twisted shrine from where I am
If ever a flash of conscience makes you tuck them all away
I promise you'll still see my face before you every day

You....
You're confident to think no one will ever know
You've got your alibi; with your smooth lies you know you'll steal the show
In time your time will come, but we'll never meet again
I know you'll never talk your way into being where I am

Chorus
