One Fine Day by Melodie Yvonne
You call it honesty I call it gaslighting
You speak the truth, but you use it misleadingly
Where is the line that you balance so freeingly?
One fucking push would have you on your fucking knees
All that I gave you it wasn’t enough and I’m
sick of your bullshit just like I am sick of mine
I gave it all to you and you stole all my time
Push me away and then pull back and draw a line
I’m fucking dizzy from all your mixed signals and
I just can’t stand bein’ on this damn ride again
I didn’t sign up to be your dumb fucking friend
but I feel stupid again and again and again
One fucking day maybe you’ll finally bleed like me
You’ll be in pain and I’ll be here in ecstasy
One fucking day you will see what you’ve done to me
but it’s too late now to mend all this broken me
One fucking day maybe I can forget ‘bout you
Hope for your sake you can finally forget me too
One fucking day I hope we’re fucking finally through
if I can ever say fuck it to loving you
