The Story Lyrics - Singles - Becca Schack

Think you're peter pan? 

Where you stand sleazy old man 

Narcissist with a god complex 

Insecure and self-obsessed, yes 

Everyone knows that I'm the best 

So why were you ever my first request 

Now i only talk to people who care 

I learned the hard way, life just ain't fair 

I was deep in it, was so intense 

But now that I know, it all makes sense 

Forgot who I was, even my own name 

You fronted like my boss, that shit was lame 

All that was mine soon became yours 

til I couldn't take the fakeness anymore 

I swear I'll never let that happen again 

I only live in truth, won't play pretend 

I believed the story, not the reality 

Poisoning myself in the shadow of your glory 

I was just the girlfriend, a toy that you would bend 

Gotta break the news, all good things must end 

Now you try to be nice 

But my heart is cold, cold as ice 

Don't fool yourself that we can be friends 

Shoulda thought of that before you took seconds 

I lived in a bubble for years 

You took me for granted, played on my fears 

Exploited me, all you could 

Lies became truth, but it was all good 

Remember all the times, the times you said 

That you loved me, really messed with my head 

You wrote it on my walls, screamed it in the streets 

Whispered it to me from between the sheets 

In the meantime you were weaving stories so complex 

Another notch on your belt then onto the next 

All the pictures now burned, graffiti erased 

Blows my mind all that time, it was me you couldn't face 

I believed the story, not the reality 

Poisoning myself in the shadow of your glory 

I was just the girlfriend, a toy that you would bend 

Gotta break the news, all good things must end 

You need constant reassurance to feel sexy 

Too bad I took you back after it got messy 

Silly me, thinkin that you could ever change 

Instead it was my own I had to rearrange 

I believed the story, not the reality 

Poisoning myself in the shadow of your glory 

I was just the girlfriend, a toy that you would bend 

Gotta break the news, all good things must end 

I got only you to thank when you kissed me goodbye 

Naive little girl when you opened my eyes 

I complete myself, not you or any guy 

Don't need anyone else to be justified 

With open heart open mind I really can't hate 

No enemies only teachers never too late 

to have the life I always dreamed, watch and see what I create 

Master of my future, I was born for something great 

I've got only you to thank 

for opening up my eyes 

I don't need anyone, no no 

and I've only got you to thank 

for opening up my eyes 

I don't need anyone, no no
