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
