Chasing Violets

I Owe It To Myself

Chasing Violets


You keep tellin' me you are my friend
But you can't really stand my success
You're green with envy so don't pretend
You prefer to hate what you don't possess

But you're nothing to me
Like a fly buzzing 'round
You'll never own me, now I'm free

Why don't you understand I owe it to myself
I've been working hard all day and all night long
Why don't you understand I owe it to myself
Stop being obsessed 'cause you should know you're wrong

You abused my kindness long enough
I'm not sure you'll ever see the light
You're lying and I can call your bluff
Now you're screaming my name in the night

In every conversation
You keep putting me down
It only shows your frustration

Why don't you understand I owe it to myself
I've been working hard all day and all night long
Why don't you understand I owe it to myself
If you keep fighting like this you won't last long

You thought I was just your toy
You forgot I'm a tomboy
So I can break you in two with joy

Why don't you understand I owe it to myself
I've been working hard all day and all night long
Why don't you understand I owe it to myself
Stop being obsessed 'cause you should know you're wrong
Why don't you understand I owe it to myself
I've been working hard all day and all night long
Why don't you understand I owe it to myself
If you keep fighting like this you won't last long
