Emotional Dependence

Compositor: Leonardo Adam

Emotional dependence, it’s so rough
You can’t walk straight, not even crooked enough
Cigarette smoke, alcohol on your breath
You’re a mess coming in, embarrassing every step

You drink till you drop, fall flat on the floor
Everyone’s watching, they’re begging for more
I was humiliated, cursed, even stabbed
I called it love, I accepted all I had

Emotional dependence, it’s so tough
You can’t walk straight, not even crooked enough
I broke free, I broke free, I found the light
Our story’s over, I’ve carried my cross, I’ve paid the price

The clock’s the only one giving time, I’m done
I’ve wanted this for so long, but I’m too numb
Don’t talk about love, you betrayed my trust
I felt it coming, you’re worthless, everyone knew it was just lust

No one warned me, I saw it with my own eyes
My face might fool you, but I’m not blind
Now excuse me, I’ve got more to do
Go back to your friends, I’m living my life without you

Emotional dependence, it’s so tough
You can’t walk straight, not even crooked enough
I broke free, I broke free, I found the light
Our story’s over, I’ve carried my cross, I’ve paid the price

After the breakup, I started to drown
Drinking and smoking, I hit the ground
When I woke up, I was lost in the haze
Everyone judged, but no one saw my pain

Your family shamed me for my piercings, my hair
Shirtless and wild, they said I didn’t care
I’m not a bum, I work like hell
I’m not your daughter who robbed and fell

Now excuse me, I’ve got more to do
Go back to your friends, I’m living my life without you
I’m moving on, I’m breaking the chain
This is my freedom, I’m done with the pain
