10 reasons i could never stay one you weren t ready to dance when i was you let my hand go in the essence of a mosh pit and i ve been lost since two the night you left i fell asleep on the floor of my shower i was so broken i fell to my knees and asked god if he could take me three you would have let him take me four i was willing to give up a part of me for you i was willing to compromise my dreams for you i was ready to be the person you needed you never really needed me the way i needed you to five i talked to my grandmother this morning and she asked me where the princess she remembered raising went she asked me how i could be good for anyone if i wasn t good for me she asked me if i were looking for kings who were looking for queens and how somewhere along the way i lost myself so they all missed me six you loved me the way my father always loved my mother and i no longer accept men with conditional traits seven as a woman i am obligated to continue loving as a man you are eager to continue lusting i was made gracefully with spiritual glitter and faithful glue i was given wings that you tried to cut through i was born with a voice that you tried to silence and a body that you tried to shame me of whenever spilling our love into someone else s it took me a while to see that someone like you doesn t deserve a heart that only someone like myself was willing to offer eight i m starting to find myself and while picking up the pieces to my unfinished puzzle i m realizing that you were never meant to fit the picture nine you left scars on my skin that will never let me forget what love isn t ten you were wrong about me you said i could never live without you you thought i d stick around for you to figure out how beautiful we could be but i ve planted scriptures in your palms that no one else will ever understand but all will see and then they ll wonder what happened then they ll ask about me tell them how i used to hold on because i loved you enough to never let you forget me then let them know that i ve become forgiving and you ve grown to resent me i ve grown from every verse i ve wrote and every word you ve spoke and you ve learned my love made itself permanent on its own you never were into practicing what you preached but i ve decided it s okay that you let me go too i ve already set you free
