(How could you just let me go?)
When I was just a kid
Trying to learn my ABC's
And how to ride a bicycle (I know, I know)
I've forgotten who that was
But I'm thankful just because
There was never love in that house
I had to find it somewhere else (oh)
I've been cast out like black magic
Kicked to the curb like a bad habit
How is that even possible?
You were supposed to love me the most
You left me walking on a wire
Above a roaring fire
How could you just let me go?
I guess you didn't need me when I needed you
I turned out pretty, damn, amazing
Eventually, I'll make it even though you just let me go
I guess you didn't need me when I needed you
I guess you didn't need me when I needed you
I'm sure to you it's justified
But it left me scarred for life
A chip on my shoulder
That I hope to fill
Someday when my children choose to take a path
And it's not the one I'd recommend
The differences
I will be there still
I've been cast out like black magic
Kicked to the curb like a bad habit
How is that even possible?
By the people who should love me the most
You left me walking on a wire
Above a roaring fire
How could you just let me go? (Let me go)
I turned out pretty, damn, amazing
Eventually, I'll make it even though you just let me go
I guess you didn't need me when I needed you
I guess you didn't need me when I needed you
