Own Terms Lyrics

Hey

Just came 'round to say

Thank you for acting like you cared that other day

Hey

Caused me a great deal of pain

But thank you for asking how I was that other day

Ooh, I'm so done

It's not fun

When all your effort's wasted when you're not the one but

If I was to change

I'd do it on my own terms

I don't need your validation

Or permission to confirm

Before you I was enough

You were everything I dreamed of

But now I'm just a tragic mess

That you don't want to clean up

And I say I'm alright

But you don't really know me

I was never really fine

Hi

Aren't you so mighty fine

But you don't really care if I walk away, right?

Hi

I was out of my mind

To think that you could ever learn to love someone like me, right?

Ooh, but I'm so sick

Of all of this

All the time goes slowly when you're cursing it but

If I was to change

I'd do it on my own terms

I don't need your validation

Or permission to confirm

Before you I was enough

You were everything I dreamed of

But now I'm just a tragic mess

That you don't want to clean up

And I say I'm alright

But you don't really know me

I was never really fine

But I'd still find a way

To love you through the pain

I don't know how to move

Your love and warmth is cold and cruel

And I have everyday

To lose myself and go insane

Did you mean it when you said

You didn't mean to cause offence but

If I was to change

I'd do it on my own terms

I don't need your validation

Or permission to confirm

I'm not ready to date you

But that don't mean I hate you

I just want to find myself

And somewhere to escape to

And we dove too deep

But I don't really know you

And loving you is hurting me
