Ridicule by Emma Blackery 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
