Writing You Down

I lived with your ghost
Who knew that's the most I'd ever get
And you took most of me keeping
Me hooked with love and neglect

You built me up just
To knock me down
Keep me insecure
So I wouldn't speak out
But your mask is slipping
And this power's for gripping
It's time that people found out

I'm writing you down
Saying your name
Telling everyone who'll
Hear me so you can't do the same
(To the next girl)
I'm calling you out
I hope you're ashamed
If enough people hear me
Then you might take the blame
I'm writing you down
I'm writing you down

And you took myself
From me but I'll be just fine
I know that I deserve better
Than someone who gets
Angry when I cry

You built me up just
To knock me down
Keep me insecure so
I wouldn't speak out
But your mask is slipping
And there's power for gripping
It's time that people found out

I'm writing you down
Saying your name
Telling everyone
Who'll hear me so you
Can't do the same
(To the next girl)
I'm calling you out
I hope you're ashamed
If enough people hear me
Then you might take the blame
I'm writing you down
I'm writing you down

I am more powerful
Than I am broken
You can't erase
These words I've spoken
I am more powerful
Than I am broken
You can't erase
These words I've spoken

You built me up just t
O knock me down
Keep me insecure
So I wouldn't speak out
But your mask is slipping
And this power's for gripping
I can choose how this plays out
Plays out

I'm writing you down
Saying your name
Telling everyone who'll hear
Me so you can't do the same
(To the next girl)
I'm calling you out
I hope you're ashamed
If enough people hear me
Then you might take the blame
I'm writing you down
I'm writing you down
