The Example

i dreamed you died.
i didn't cry.
i stood tall and proud.
you were the past.
i was free from letting you down at last.
i buried the negative emotions you gave me.
i woke up feeling unburdened.

praise God and let me be.
no one believes how evil you can be.
but one day the truth will win out.
time will let me escape you.
i will no longer have to face you.
praise Jesus and let go of me.

i can see the future clearly.
your memory was dragging me down.
i cut you out of me.
i use you as an example of who not to be.
i won't manipulate.
i won't guilt trip.
i won't use my loved ones as pawns.
i won't pit anyone against someone they love.
your twisted games always made me sick.
nothing you tried to teach me will ever stick.

praise God and go away.
i know there's no hope for you.
and i know you'll never change.
time will remove the damage you did.
i won't say your name.
praise Jesus and i'll forget you exist.
