Read Your Mind

Take a long hard look at your life
And tell me do you like what you see
When you’re looking in the mirror
Are you everything you wanted to be
Seems like my life began when I got away from you
You had me feeling so confused
There was nothing left to lose

You tried so hard to push me down
I didn’t think I’d make it back
But now I’ve learned to stand my ground
Don’t underestimate the fact
That I can read your mind

All the things that you think you hide
You can pretend but don’t waste my time
I see through you even though you think I’m blind
I can read between the lines
All the walls that you hide behind
But you forget that I can read your mind
Now read my lips
I don’t need you in my life

Sincerity doesn’t suit you well
What the hell are you trying to prove
I can’t believe in some other lifetime
I listened to you
You think I don’t know that you come to me now
Just to ease your conscience
But things aren’t like they were before
You can’t hurt me anymore

You’ll try to prove you give a damn
But your smile won’t reach your eyes
How stupid do you think I am
I see the truth behind your lies
‘Cause I can read your mind

Believe me I’ve tried not to hate you
For what you put me through
I know that I deserved better
But I gained a lot from you
I’ve been thinking it over and over (and over)
Now I realise the truth
It was never about me
Oh no, it was all about you

You tried so hard to push me down
I didn’t think I’d make it back
But now I’ve learned to stand my ground
And I won’t pick up your slack
You tried so hard to break me down
But you won’t succeed at that
And now I’ve turned my life around
Don’t underestimate the fact
That I can read your mind
