Parade

[Verse 1]
You don't understand kindness
You only like me toxic and violent
You only like it begging on your knees
Sayin', "Please", just to get another chance
What a dance, what a dance
I decide the moves and you just prance
What a weird dance, what a dance, what a dance
I wish I could make this up
You're an adult, just get your mommy issues out
I'm not gonna deal with another woman's son
I'm just looking for an equal

[Pre-Chorus]
You bet I learned my own damn lesson
When you left, it was a blessing
Everything comes at a cost
Well, you're trashcan marked as gold

[Chorus]
And so I march, I lead my own parade
I celebrate the freedom of my days
Don't let nostalgia cloud my own damn vision
Well, I loved you, dear, but I prefer to love me
I prefer to love me

[Verse 2]
Now we're sitting in silence
We both know what comes next
It's a dead end, how expected?
Now this moment comes at last
We become a thing of past
I won't revisit (I won't revisit)

[Pre-Chorus]
You bet I learned my own damn lesson
When you left, it was a blessing
Everything comes at a cost
Well, you're a trashcan marked as gold

[Chorus]
And so I march, I lead my own parade
I celebrate the freedom of my days
Don't let nostalgia cloud my own damn vision
Well I loved you, dear, but I prefer to love me
I prefer to love me
I prefer to love me
