Lyrics

If I’d followed in your footsteps
I’d be on my knees by now
In the shadow of your ego
Getting dragged along the ground
Behind your jokes and gestures
There’s a condescending tone
You’ve been corrupted by deception
Now it’s bringing out the truth
I should have always known

CHORUS:
I’m breaking the cycle
Breaking the chains
Not gonna wait for your story to change
Starting a fire, saying goodbye
I’m breaking the cycle
Breaking free from the lies

Even when I knew the answers
Somehow you’d change the test
Always holding me accountable
For the things I’d say in jest
Maybe I’d be more forgiving
If these incidents were far and few between
I could line up all the evidence
and put you on the stand
But I know you won’t come clean

CHORUS

And when the smoke has finally cleared
There’ll be nothing insincere
Some people never learn
‘Till the bridge is finally burned
And the wheels can finally turn

CHORUS
