Jason’s Song (Gave It Away)

Yeah, you really tried
But I was blind to all the lies you told me, boy
All the shit you’ve done
You can’t outrun the way you undersold me

You acted like you bought me at a bargain sale
You don’t even care
You focused your frustration on a small detail
Blew it out of scale
Like my ponytail

Well, if you don’t want to see
The girl I want to be
Then why, then why should I listen?
If you don’t want to do
The things I need from you
Goodbye, goodbye

‘Cause I gave it away
I gave it away
I gave it away
And I’m taking it right back

I’m no blow-up doll, no free-for-all
No slave to your decision
Gotta find a way to break the spell to get the hell away
From those who block my vision

You used me as a fragment of your grand design
And you, you don’t get to put me as your bottom line
You don’t get what’s mine
And I’m doing fine

Said, if you don’t want to see
The girl I want to be
Then why, then why would I listen?
If you don’t want to do
The things I need from you
Goodbye, goodbye

‘Cause I gave it away
I gave it away
I gave it away
And I’m taking it right back, baby

Well, if you don’t want to see
The girl I want to be
Then why, then why should I listen?
If you don’t want to do
The things I need from you
Goodbye, goodbye

‘Cause I gave it away
I gave it away
I gave it away
I gave it away
I’m taking it right back
Taking it right back, baby
Taking it right back
