i was right.

i think 'i was right' is quite self-explanatory in the song itself and the title. sometimes it feels like such a waste to have faith in people, although that may sound cruel, i believe many can agree with me. however, as my mum reminded me, you can stop having faith in some people, but don't start losing faith in everyone. i know she is right because of the amazing people i call my family and friends. nevertheless, it won't stop me from wishing things were different or feeling this horrible ache in my chest. to truly love (i hate saying that) someone and to be on the receiving end of their entitlement and ego, that treatment, even disregarding everything you've done for them, is so awful. because you've seen them start to grow, even if it's only slightly. i question if i was a fool, but honestly, who cares anymore. what i felt was real, what i did for him is what he needed in the moment, and i can find some sort of closure within that. what will always be the hardest thing to shake will be that night when i didn't know who i was talking to. it was and wasn't the man i loved or knew through so many shitty times. oh well, you made your bed - now you can rot in it.

lyrics:

oh it was good
for just a while
i saw you change
but didn’t notice
you were looking back again

it started with lies
and thoughtless comments
at my expense
all i asked of you
was to just be honest

it’s awful to see
someone you love
become their worst enemy

and to see them not try
makes the pain
feel more bittersweet

'cause i was right
but i didn’t want to be

you don’t need me
at least not anymore
i’ve bled out dry
by your hands
but it only stained mine

i want you to stay
what a funny thing
you cause so much harm
to everything you touch
it all just wastes away

it’s awful to see
someone you love
become their worst enemy

and to see them not try
makes the pain
feel more bittersweet

cause i was right
i was right

i still see the cracks
on your face
i still saw the man
i loved that day

it’s awful to see
someone you love
become their worst enemy

and to see them not try
makes the pain
feel more bittersweet

cause i was right
but i didn’t want to be.
