The Upper Hand

Your intentions came through the phone loud and clear
After all this time and heartache
What are we doing here?
Defending my right to move on
While you pour in the confusion
And pain that I thought had long since gone.
If it's the upper hand you want
Baby, take it I've had enough
If this is what you need
I’ll gladly give it up
Yeah, I'll gladly give it up
I was shaking so hard I couldn't speak
Pacing the floor in shambles
Feeling so damn weak
The anger let go to despair
With all this time that you've been gone
I can't help to wonder why you care
If it's the upper hand you want
Baby, take it I've had enough
If this is what you need
I’ll gladly give it up
My intentions fall flat
My head starts to clear
After all this time and heartache
Why am I right back here?
Written so many words to find my peace
And now with this bitter swan song
I declare my own release
If it's the upper hand you want
Baby, take it I've had enough
If this is what you need
I’ll gladly give it up
You got the freedom that you craved
Why are we arguing today?
Go be happy girl I'm not standing in your way
Yeah, go be happy girl I'm not standing in your way
Hey, go be happy girl I'm no longer in your way
