Jumping Through Hoops

Written by: Emily Corley and Sydney Inman

From the start, I did what I was told
While you sat back and watched it unfold
You made me think I was losing my mind
I was clueless and you left me asking why

I’m jumping through hoops trying to get to you
I did everything that you asked me to
Trying to mend what you’ve already shattered
Cuts and scars I'm bruised and battered

Jumping through hoops
Jumping through hoops for you, for you
I really hate to say it but you never helped
I put in the work while you did the parallel
I didn't think to stand my ground
Because all you've done is push me around

I’m jumping through hoops trying to get to you
I did everything that you asked me to
Trying to mend what you already shattered
Cuts and scars I'm bruised and battered

Jumping through hoops
Jumping through hoops for you, for you

You said to leap the highest but you stayed still
You said to pay attention with your own eyes closed
You said that staying quiet would keep me fulfilled
But you stand there smiling as if it was a joke

I'm jumping through hoops trying to get to you
I did everything that you asked me to
Trying to mend what you already shattered
Cuts and scars I'm bruised and battered

Jumping through hoops
Jumping through hoops for you, for you
I'm jumping through hoops
Jumping through hoops for you, for you
