The perfect illusion
Wrapped in roses
Barbed wire bow
Written words
Stuck to the thorns
That stab my heart
A leave me torn to pieces
I feel like I'm losing
Losing a battle that I can't win
Waiving my white flag
Again and again surrendering
Walking away, away from him

'Cause' I'm done trying
Baby I'm done crying
I'm so done staying up late
Sitting here waiting on you
Like I do
For you to tell me what I've wanted to hear
Over and over all these years
But you were caught up in
Yourself to busy looking away
So when you say I love you all I hear is I love you
Just a little too late

You're timing is pitiful
When I'm feeling happy
Breaking free
Is when you finally
Notice me
But I'm not here
Note here waiting patiently
Anymore

'Cause' I'm done trying
Baby I'm done crying
I'm so done staying up late
Sitting here waiting on you
Like I do
For you to tell me what I've wanted to hear
Over and over all these years
But you were caught up in
Yourself too busy looking away
So when you say I love you all I hear is I love you
Just a little too late

Now I'm fighting for myself for the first time
In a long time
I'm standing on my own two feet
Stronger than I used to be

'Cause' I'm done trying
Baby I'm done crying
I'm so done staying up late
Sitting here waiting on you
Like I do
For you to tell me what I've wanted to hear
Over and over all these years
But you were caught up in
Yourself too busy looking away
So when you say I love you all I hear is I love you
Just a little too late
Just a little too late
