Ebxny - The Mermaid Lyrics

I know what you're thinking
That I don't know my worth because of all I've put up with
See, I never said I'm not a mermaid
But that you've never cared for me as the rarity that I am
Priceless
In a love that has made me lifeless
You see me as... catfish
Easily attainable
Readily available... to anyone
You forget that I don't have to reveal myself
And doing so jeopardizes my overall health
And yet I have... for you
Put myself on the line to be reeled and caught
Subconsciously taught that
To you, I'm just a catfish and
If I don't fulfill or satisfy
That you can just toss me in the trash
And find yourself another
Bottom feeder
But consider this
What happens when a mermaid realizes that man is no good for her
That against her better judgement the inevitable did occur
That she's been taken for granted
Promises recanted
Pulled from beauty and flung into waters disenchanted
Made to feel less beautiful than the basic
When their filtered best couldn't touch her mosaic
I know my worth
I can't be traded
And I won't be jaded
I am worth the breath you took
At first site of my image in the deep blue
And the one that stops your heart
As you witness my breathtaking adieu
