Lies with his mouth

Then lock it up

Ask for your all but never give the same

So hold your breath and keep it inside

He's a known cheater, a liar a fraud

You beautiful and made you feel good

And now you're stuck in the middle of the woods

Spread your legs wide

You'll never forgive and never forget

When you drive past the park where your girlhood was left

[Outro]

    B
But try to remember this is all just now

       F#
He's a horrible person but someday you'll get out

   G#m
Of the pain and confusion, feeling so lost

Someday you'll discover the beautiful cost

   B
To giving up your freedom, locking yourself down

For three years straight

                          G#m
You'll soon be alright to live your life

Just how you please

And he'll be the one stuck on his knees

   B
So goodbye to the boy who hurt me

F#
More than I thought, but it was just want I need

   G#m                                       E
To realise that someday I'll be with the guy who is right

F#
For

B
Me
