(I'm not the same person I used to be
I'm moving on, it's just for me)
Do you remember when you told me that
I'd never be good enough for anyone?
That I wasn't worth your time?
Your energy?
And why did I listen then?
Why didn't I stand up for myself?
You made me believe
That I was on the road to nowhere
To nowhere
(Chorus)
And oh, I was listenin' for way too long
Should've known I'm way too strong
To let you just lead me on
Lead me on
And oh, I was travelin' on that road too long
Just tryna find my way back home
But the old me was dead and gone
Dead and gone, oh woah
I've been thinking 'bout all that we been through
Every place that you and me went to
Thinkin' back on, stupid little memories
Thinkin' bout the times when my heart felt empty
Wait--that was all the time
Cause we just weren't fine, we fake it
A true friend stab you in the front
So tell my why my back is aching
You can't say, you just choke
Hey h-h-hangman there's your rope
Dang, what's a five letter word for you
Well pick up and you got beat at your game
Burn every bridge but you still see smoke
Tryna get across but you sank every boat
You can smoke every day of your life
But when I'm on the mike
Imma be more dope
And oh, I was listenin' for way too long
I should've known I'm way too strong
To let you just lead me on
Lead me on
x2
(So you can love me for who I am
Or hate me for who you think I am
But the old me is dead and gone
I'm moving on now)
Woah woo-aaah mmmmmm, the old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
