Everything You're Not
Demi Lovato Lyrics

I've been bruised and I've been broken
I have been hurt and damaged emotionally in the past.

Can't believe that I put up with all this pain
I cannot believe that I tolerated this pain for so long.

I've been used and I was choking on the promise
I have been mistreated and deceived, and the promise of not falling again was suffocating me.

I would never fall again
I promised myself that I would not let myself be hurt again.

I used to sing to your twisted symphony
I used to sing along to and be caught up in your twisted and harmful behavior.

The words that had me trapped inside your misery
Your negative words and actions made me feel trapped in a miserable situation.

But now I know
But now I have become aware and understand the truth.

The reason why I couldn't breathe
The reason why I felt suffocated and stifled in the situation.

Cause all I want is everything you're not
Because I want someone who is the opposite of everything you are.

So go ahead and slam the door
You can try to shut me out, but you won't succeed.

And no, I don't, I don't care what you say
I don't care about your words or opinions.

Cause all I really, all I really want
Because what I really want is someone who is different from you.

Is everything you're not
I want someone who is nothing like you.

Your darkness was my weakness but it turns out
I was vulnerable to your unhealthy behavior, but it wasn't real.

That it only went so deep
It was surface level and shallow.

A meaningless diversion that is all that you
To me, you were just a meaningless distraction.

Ever meant to me
You never had any real significance to me.

And I am done with your twisted symphony
I am no longer interested or invested in your harmful behavior.

The words that had me sound like stolen poetry
Your deceitful words made me feel like I was reciting stolen poetry.

I tore the pages and I can finally breathe
I rejected your harmful ways and can now breathe freely.

I want a gentleman who treats me like a queen
I want a kind and respectful man who treats me well.

I need respect, I need love
I require respect and love in a relationship.

Nothing in between
I will not settle for anything less than that.

I will not spell it out for you if you can't see
I will not explain or justify myself to you if you cannot understand.

Cause you're not worthy, you don't deserve me
Because you are not worthy of me, and do not deserve me.

And now I'm gone
I have moved on and left you behind.

Never gonna break my heart again
I am never going to let someone hurt me again.

Never gonna see your face again
I am not going to allow you back into my life.

Never wanna feel this way again
I never want to feel hurt and trapped like this again.
