Your Life Is Your Own Now (Trust Me) (2017)

Watch her walk away
Your life is forfeit
Take a look at all your pain
It enters while she exits

In a second you lost yourself
And there's no promise
You have nothing left to gain
What is your life now? 

Two years you gave
Now gone up in flames
You think it's such a shame that it's broken? 
The light you lost
Makes you turn and toss
Is this the cost you've chosen? 

And now she lies with another man 
They always walk hand in hand
A gesture to spite you only

And there's no chance of an exit plan 
Of that, you seem so convinced
There's another option, trust me

Watch her walk away
Your life ain't worth it
Take a look at all your pain
It amasses in her absence

You've lost faith in yourself
With nothing left to promise
No present nor future to sustain
There is no life now 

Was it the smile on her face? 
Was it the way that she tastes?
Why the hell are you so lost, kid? 
Why don't you pack it up? 
Say enough is enough?
You gave too much to fight this

You have so much that's left
You think you don't exist?
Without a tie in or a binding?
You are so much more 
When you're on your own 
This is not the end of everything

But now she lies with another man
The very thought you can't stand
This was not your one and only 

But you see signs of an exit plan
And now you are so convinced
You will improve, trust me

Trust me

Shake the weight of defeat 
Lose the pain that remains 
You stand tall amidst the wreckage
The victories that you seek
Come in the future you claim
This is the beginning of a new age

This is the beginning of a bright new age

Watch her walk away
And know it's worth it
Take a look at your pain
It accompanies her exit

For a second you lost yourself
But this I promise
You have so much more to gain
Your life is your own now 

Your life is your own now
