It's not hard to see the truth: it was such a waste of time My patience has been slipping as our friendship fades away And you will hear me say, "Take what's yours, but keep it far from me" I've learned from my mistakes: People never change, people never change You ran from all your problems, and you can't deny You've ruined everything with all your lies You almost broke me down, but I'm smarter now than I ever was before You can play your game, but you don't fool me anymore You don't fool me anymore I've come too far to let you take this from me And now I know it's for the best, it wasn't meant to be You can talk behind my back if that's what gets you by It's not hard to see the truth if you read between the lines My patience has been slipping as our friendship fades away And you will hear me say, "Take what's yours, but keep it far from me" I've learned from my mistakes: People never change, people never change
