Displaced Lyrics

To be broken by a man I had to convince myself was cute

Your age shows when you blame me for the hardships that we faced

I admit that I'm ashamed

But I guess I know my place, I guess I know my place

I told you who I could be

Your promises to love me through weren't true, now boy look at you

Confirming all my fears, cheers to another failed year

My minds all over the place

I wish you just could've stayed

You promised me strength to deal with my ways

But now you say we can be friends

I don't wanna hear that from my man

When you pulled away, my mind didn't say "tell him to stay"

"Don't push him away"

But the way that I am is to hurt him before, before he can

Now the man no longer can

He no longer can

I've been displaced

To be focused on a plan that doesn't end with me and you

I finally feel free to do as I should do

Was focused on my rage, had to purge it from my veins

I know you tried your best but it doesn't change the pain

So cut off the ends, roll up your string, throw it away

Go on ahead, forget what I said, here I will stay

I'm learning all my fears, here's to a better year

I'm slowing down my time

I'll be good just give me five

You promised me strength to deal with my ways

But now you say we can be friends

I don't wanna hear that from my man

When you pulled away, my mind didn't say "tell him to stay"

"Don't push him away"

But the way that I am is to hurt him before, before he can

Now the man no longer can

He no longer can

My growth came at your expense

Makes me sad how all this went

I'm sorry we no longer split the rent

And how we now live separate lives

I'll become a better woman for the next guy

Has to feel unfair in your mind

At least we had a hint of time to let our souls intertwine

We surely teamed up in this place

I miss those lakeside summer days when we were both aligned

You promised me strength to deal with my ways

But now you say we can be friends

I don't wanna hear that from my man

When you pulled away, my mind didn't say "tell him to stay"

"Don't push him away"

But the way that I am is to hurt him before, before he can

Now the man no longer can

He no longer can

I've been displaced
