Waves

Well, I promise I'm not longer mad at you
'Cause leaving me was the best thing that you could do
'Cause if you stayed I would never recognize
That myself can never again be compromised

Well, the lies that you told me sparked a fire
A fire that set ablaze the trees
The trees that were quickly burned
But used to serve as my security

So thank you
For doing what I could never do
Turns out the last thing I needed was you
And thank you
For telling me I was not enough
Turns out your words built in me some self-love

Well, the tears that I cried formed an ocean
An ocean that taught me how to swim
Against the current of your lies that said that I'm inadequate
And turns out when no one's there to save you
Save you from drowning in your pain
You learn real fast that it's up to you to grow from every wave
