A La de Lú

Do you remember when you told me, looking me in the eyes
That you would take care of me?
That you wouldn’t leave me alone, you just sold me a bunch of fantasies
Everything seemed fine to you, as long as I did what you wanted
Until the day I said no, and you turned the dream into a nightmare

You tried to tear me apart a thousand ways, but you failed
You wanted to convince me I was nothing without you
And now look at you, it’s you who’s nobody now
Without me

I know you’re out there looking for someone like me
Trying to replace me
And they say you’re out there saying
That in our mess, there were no culprits
Forgive me for contradicting all the pretty lies you made up
The twists and turns life takes
I came out brave and you’re just a coward

You tried to tear me apart a thousand ways, but you failed
You wanted to convince me I was nothing without you
And now look at you, it’s you who’s nobody now

You taught me, eh
That I could stand on my own when you left me
I know it wasn’t your intention to do this for me
And you left bragging that you won
And now that time has made you pay for what you stole
Who are you without me?

Who are you without me?
