Parade (Fortune's Child Album)

Verse 1:

You don't understand kindness

You only like me toxic and violent

You only like it begging on your knees

Sayin' "Please" just to get another chance

What a dance, what a dance

I decide the moves and you just prance

What a weird dance, what a dance, what a dance

I wish I could make this up

You're an adult, just get your mommy issues out

I'm not gonna deal with another woman's son

I'm just looking for an equal

[Pre-Chorus]

You bet I learned my own damn lesson

When you left, it was a blessing

Everything comes at a cost

Well, you're a trashcan marked as gold

[Chorus]

And so I march, I lead my own parade

I celebrate the freedom of my days

Don't let nostalgia cloud my own damn vision

Well, I loved you, dear, but I prefer to love me

I prefer to love me

[Verse 2]

Now we're sitting in silence

We both know what comes next

It's a dead end, how expected?

Now this moment comes at last

We become a thing of past

I won't revisit (I won't revisit)

[Pre-Chorus]

You bet I learned my own damn lesson

When you left, it was a blessing

Everything comes at a cost

Well, you're a trash can marked as gold

[Chorus]

And so I march, I lead my own parade

I celebrate the freedom of my days

Don't let nostalgia cloud my own damn vision

Well I loved you, dear, but I prefer to love me

I prefer to love me

I prefer to love me
