"I'm Over It"

Feb 20, 2007 14:34

Running in circles for you
Looking like a dog trying to please
But nothing I do is good for you
You say "yeah, I'm fine", but you're such a tease.

Circles intertwined and laced with little lies
It's so hard to understand why
When you look at me, don't you see past my eyes?
No, you don't and you don't bother to try.

You don't know how I feel, nor do you care
This is such an awesome feeling I must say,
It's overwhelming and I don't know how much more I can bear,
I don't understand why you act this way.

I chase you with haist through those circles everyday
But, let me tell you, my breath is running low.
So now, YOU LISTEN to ME and what I HAVE to SAY,
Today's the day I'm done chasin'. Now let that sink in nice and slow.

I'm done letting you run me to the left, then to the right and in the ground
I'm done, finished, that's it, I can't stand it!
Stop trying to convince me that the world's square when I know that it's round
I'm done trying so hard without anything in return, yeah I can't stand that shit.

But you might not have known that before now
Because I just followed you, chased you in circles and let your comments fly.
But I'm done, and you ask, "but why, oh but how?"
I'm gonna stab the "people-pleaser" part of me and watch it slowly die.

I think I should reiterate this concept for you to grasp
No more circles, no more needing for acceptence from you
I'm tired of swimming in that deep ocean, waiting for the air as I gasp
I made a realization, this is my life, I'm gonna do WHAT I WANNA DO!

Thanks all those years of secret little circles and busy work
Thanks for making me think it was for the best
Yeah, You may think the new me is a big huge jerk
But I think this part of me has had too long of a rest.

I hope you liked your choke hold
Cause I'm gonna love my wings
I'm gonna love using colors bright and bold
And doing all my favorite things.

See ya later "People-Pleaser" Ashley, it was fun
Or at least I thought it was, and maybe cause it made life easy
But now, my fun begins and yours is done
Oh, to just please myself, and myself only, ah, how breezy.

Goodbye you silly circle runners, I do believe you wont be missed
I get to run my own path now, in no circular motion
I get to run on winding roads through nature and paths that are sun kissed
To freedom I say hello, and goodbye to that poisonous "People-Pleasin'" potion.

Goodbye, Goodbye, you won't be missed at all
I wave to you with a smile on my face
I hope those who run in circles get dizzy and fall
While I walk in a curvey straight line at my own pace

See ya , too-da-loo and goodnight
I'm looking forward to the new me
I'm glad that I want to be done with this fight
Cause now, I am finally free!
