I was yours for the taking
You took without giving
Except for the pain and the sorrow
Won't let it happen tomorrow
I thought I knew what I needed
When I fell for you
Now I know that I needed to try something new
The beauty of loving myself is leaving behind the burdens I held
I held them close
I didn't know who I was or where to go
But now I've got time
To be with myself
I don't need to worry about anyone else
I place trust in no one but me
I found peace in certainty
I wash the lies, now with the truth, I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
You spoke many words
I believed them to be true
But when you promised you'd change
I knew a lie was a brew
Darling your words had no meaning
Empty as your "I love you"
But now I'm picking up the pieces
I know what I have to do
The beauty of loving myself is leaving behind the burdens I held
I held them close
I didn't know who I was or where to go
Maybe one day, you'll follow through
But right now I'm focusing on me
Free of expectations
No negotiations
I am free
But now I've got time
To be with myself
I don't need to worry about anyone else
I place trust in no one but me
I found peace in certainty
I wash the lies, now with the truth, I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
