lyrics

I sit with my thoughts
For a little while
I gave my heart for keeps
You decided to leave
Though it ain’t broke
Certainly left me with scars

And I dare you to tell them
It's all my fault
For the truth will rise to the top
I keep my mind sharp
Never know when
I’ll have to remind you again

That I’m not
I’m not yours anymore

I’m learning to trust
Myself again
Oh with little to no thanks to you
I try to pursue
Good things in life
Leaves me vulnerable to lies

But I’m not
I’m not yours anymore

I finally see
With my own two eyes
Oh you’re nothing but
A cheater who lies
Oh I thank my lucky stars
I made it out alive

But I’m not
I’m not yours anymore
No I’m not
I’m not yours anymore

25 years in the making
And 25 lessons I’ve learned
Been burned a few million
Oh I assure you I’m not
I’m not yours anymore
No I’m not
I’m not yours anymore
