Analysis of Unapologetically



I wanted more than I guess you were willing to be

From the beginning you showed me exactly what you thought of me

I chose not to see the reality, I blinded myself so completely

I wanted to be loved so desperately, I gladly accepted every breadcrumb you threw at me

Although I questioned at times, I buried the doubts deep down inside

I really can’t blame you, I made it so easy

I broke my own heart by falling so deeply

I won’t regret it, the lesson has been learned

Eventually I’ll forget that I love you, you’ll be nothing more than a memory

Now it’s time to walk away, to protect me

For the first time in my life I’m choosing to love me unapologetically
