MC2 find our square root!

I never had the courage to stand up to you
My sanity had decreased and my stamina was fading
I was holding on by a strand with no support
While you were out partying
I can't believe you held me to such standards
It was seriously crazy
I had felt so tampered and used
Until I finally gained temperance
cnd escaped from you

If you, had told me, that all my problems would be washed away
I wouldn't, have believed you, until the very day
Once it, happened, I felt like I had been reborn
If you had, given me a chance, then maybe we would've gotten along

I wrote you a love letter
Then you ignored it and threw it away
cll your actions have led up to this day
I must hold balance and not decay
You're not worth it anymore, honey
Not worth it, even for a dime
Not worth it, just another lame prize
Not worth it, I must hold balance

Keep it going until sunrise we can finally talk
Quit cowarding, you don't realize how hard I fought
My legs are shaking and my arms are bleeding
The road was bumpy and I couldn't see the speeding car about to hit me
Even if it was right infront of me it was basically my blind spot
You knew what I was capable of and robbed me of my talent
I could've been as successful as you once were
But you took away that amazing opprotunity

If you, had told me, that all my problems would be washed away
I wouldn't, have believed you, until the very day
Once it, happened, I felt like I had been reborn
If you had, given me a chance, then maybe we would've gotten along

I wrote you a love letter
Then you ignored it and threw it away
cll your actions have led up to this day
I must hold balance and not decay
You're not worth it anymore, honey
Not worth it, even for a dime
Not worth it, just another lame prize
Not worth it, I must hold balance

If you, had told me, that all my problems would be washed away
I wouldn't, have believed you, until the very day
Once it, happened, I felt like I had been reborn
If you had, given me a chance, then maybe we would've gotten along

I wrote you a love letter
Then you ignored it and threw it away
cll your actions have led up to this day
I must hold balance and not decay
You're not worth it anymore, honey
Not worth it, even for a dime
Not worth it, just another lame prize
Not worth it, I must hold balance

You're driving me crazy
What can I do with you in my way?
I feel that I can see the light of day
Nothing's stopping me I'll take the leap of faith
How does it feel to see the world blow up in your face?
Ever since this day, I will hold balance




Not worth it, I must hold balance
Keep on going my friend you'll make it
