Parade

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You don't understand kindness You only like me toxic and violent You only like it begging on your knees Sayin' "Please" just to get another chance What a dance, what a dance I decide the moves and you just prance What a weird dance, what a dance, what a dance I wish I could make this up You're an adult, just get your mommy issues out I'm not gonna deal with another woman's son I'm just looking for an equal [Pre-Chorus] You bet I learned my own damn lesson When you left, it was a blessing Everything comes at a cost Well, you're a trash can marked as gold [Chorus] And so I march, I lead my own parade I celebrate the freedom of my days Don't let nostalgia cloud my own damn vision Well, I loved you, dear, but I prefer to love me I prefer to love me [Verse 2] Now we're sitting in silence We both know what comes next It's a dead end, how expected? Now this moment comes at last We become a thing of past I won't revisit (I won't revisit) [Pre-Chorus] You bet I learned my own damn lesson When you left, it was a blessing Everything comes at a cost Well, you're a trash can marked as gold [Chorus] And so I march, I lead my own parade I celebrate the freedom of my days Don't let nostalgia cloud my own damn vision Well I loved you, dear, but I prefer to love me I prefer to love me I prefer to love me
