I was afraid of my own shadow
I wake up at night
Scared of if I'll find you there
I never had the feelings that you had for me
But you told me I was always free to leave
You were lying through your teeth just to get me to stay
You told me I was free to go
You didn't look me in the eyes though
And now I'm cornered on the street
Just like you wanted me to be
I put my heart in your hands
Cause I didn't know how to stand
Now I can barely breathe
From the chain you tied to me
I know that I am free from you, but I
Still hear you in the darkest night
When you said it would be alright
You told me that you loved me, oh, but then you pulled out the knife
And then you drowned out the music
You made me go numb inside
I didn't trust myself, so I missed the warning signs
Yeah, you were my gaslight
I, could talk about you for days
But, mm, the story would be the same
Oh, light me up oh oh oh oh oh
Take the knife out
Lay the oil down
Line it up, just
To be sure that I am down
You told me that you had my back
Even though now it's the one you stabbed
And I actually felt bad
That I didn't want you back
You told me that you'd never stay
If you thought I didn't feel the same
Well I've been telling you I don't
But you won't let me go
And I know that you're gone
And your ghost will never haunt me but..
I still hear you in the darkest night
When you said it would be alright
You told me that you loved me, oh, but then you pulled out the knife
And then you drowned out the music
You made me go numb inside
I didn't trust myself, so I missed the warning signs
Yeah, you were my gaslight
I, I am free
There is no you and me
Oh, I, I, I am free
There is no you and me
I know that I am healed from you, but I
Still hear you in the darkest night
When you said we would be alright
You told me that you loved me, oh, as you pulled out the knife
And then you drowned out the music
You made me go numb inside
I learned to be scared of all that I knew was right
Yeah, you were my gaslight
