Emma Blackery - Ridicule lyrics

[Verse 1] Didn't think I'd be back here (so soon) Hanging by a thread, pushing me over the ledge I so wanted to write you back (so I could beg you to stay) But I'm glad to step away, pull the wool over my eyes [Pre-Chorus] Make me feel safe And when I act surprised Then you throw it away There was once a time When I'd take it to heart But babe I've come too far now [Chorus] So here's to your "fresh start" You should have let me know When you turn to leave I can let you go At least I know If I'm free from you Then I'm free from ridicule If I'm free from you Then I'm free from ridicule [Verse 2] Spent so long as the victim (the fool) Couldn't take it at all, at least I know it's your fault You went and made me uncomfortable (when you asked if I would stay) And laughed and said I'm unreasonable [Pre-Chorus] My god! You made me feel ashamed And when I shut you down You wouldn't take any blame There was once a time When I'd take it to heart But babe I've come too far to let you break me apart [Chorus] So here's to your "fresh start" You should have let me know When you turn to leave I can let you go At least I know If I'm free from you Then I'm free from ridicule If I'm free from you Then I'm free from ridicule [Bridge] I bet you thought I'd bite at you, but I cherish my energy I know my worth, all the lessons I've learned And all the bridges I've burned Are part of my history (history, yeah) Whatever makes you happy Yeah, whatever makes you happy Whatever makes you happy Yeah, whatever makes you happy Whatever makes you happy Yeah, whatever makes you happy Whatever makes you happy Yeah, whatever makes you happy [Chorus] So here's to your "fresh start" You should have let me know When you turn to leave Then I can let you go At least I know If I'm free from you Then I'm free from ridicule [Outro] So here's to your "fresh start" You should have let me know When you turn to leave (yeah) Then I can let you go At least I know If I'm free from you Then I'm free from ridicule If I'm free from you (yeah) Then I'm free from ridicule
