Non ho più seconde occasioni da sprecare con te

The more chances you give someone the less respect they’ll start to have for you. They won’t value what they can continually disrespect. – Trent Shelton

Non sono mai stata una fan delle seconde possibilità. Non ho mai creduto che le persone possano cambiare.

I thought if someone meant any good, they wouldn’t need more than one chance to prove their true face. But I kind of disregarded this when you came along.

Pensavo fossi un'altra cosa. I thought you were someone special who came along in my life and I thought you’d actually make a difference.

I made this wild assumption that you’d be the love of my life. And for this idea of love, I did crazy things.

I thought what we had was worthy of moving the boundaries and sometimes even forgiving something I’d usually never forgive.

In qualche modo, ho dimenticato i miei valori. Grazie ai miei sentimenti verso di te, ho completamente dimenticato le mie convinzioni personali. Ho dimenticato come meritavo di essere trattato. E ho permesso di essere trattato male.

Ho continuato a darti nuove possibilità. No matter what you did, somehow I’d keep finding ‘logical’ explanations for them.

I tried so hard to stand in your shoes and to see why you did the things you did. No matter what anyone told me, I wouldn’t let it affect my judgments about you.

You were always right and even if you did some bad things, you definitely didn’t mean them.

It was just some set of circumstances that made you act recklessly as otherwise you wouldn’t do it. I was so naive when it came to you. But I guess we’re all naive a bit when it comes to love.

E tutte le possibilità che ho continuato a darti, le hai sprecate.

I’ve seen so many girls forgiving some things instead of walking away and I swore I’d never let that happen to me.

A un certo punto del percorso, ho dimenticato la promessa fatta a me stessa e mi sono rivelata come tutte quelle ragazze che giudicavo in silenzio. Che dire, il karma mi ha fatto davvero visita.

Mi ci è voluto un po' per capire che mi hai trattato male perché te l'ho permesso.

 

You have no idea how many times I’d sworn not to allow myself to be treated badly.

I worked so hard on my confidence and I always wanted to ensure that people knew they couldn’t do whatever they wanted with me.

Ma poi tutto è passato in secondo piano ed è scomparso quando sei arrivato da solo.

L'unico motivo per cui hai potuto trattarmi così male è che te l'ho permesso. Ti ho permesso di trattarmi male, non consapevolmente ovviamente, ma l'ho fatto.

Each time I didn’t react the way I was supposed to, I was silently complying with your toxic behavior.

Ogni volta che ti ho lasciato andare via con i tuoi pugni bassi o con qualche parola cattiva, sono stato io a darti il permesso di farlo ancora e ancora.

Per molto tempo non ho avuto idea di essere stata io a darti il via libera per fare tutte quelle cose che mi hai fatto.

Till now, all I gave you were empty promises, and now I’m done with talking empty. Now you’ll get to see me live up to my promises.

I’m done saying I’ll walk away if I see you texting some random girls. I’m done saying I’ll stop talking to you if you ever say a bad word to me one more time.

I’m done saying I won’t be waiting for you to come back once you walk away from me.

I’m done promising that you only have one more chance and then giving you another and another and another.

È arrivato il momento di dimostrarvi che anche le brave ragazze se ne vanno. You don’t get to treat me poorly anymore because I’m done letting you treat me poorly.

No more of your jealousy outbursts, no more bringing me down so you’d feel better, no more putting me last and choosing everyone else but me.

I’m done mistaking what you did to me for love. You don’t love me, you don’t even know what love is. I’m done.

I’m done with forgiving you. I’m done with believing that things will be different if I give you one more chance and I’m done letting you lie to me.

I’m done waiting for you to come crawling back to me after everyone else turned their backs on you.

And I’m done giving you second chances. This time for sure, because I’m walking away.

No matter how many chances I’d give you, you’d gamble them away.  No matter how much time you and I had, it wouldn’t change the outcome.

Because you’d keep making the same mistakes over and over again, counting on me letting you get away with it like I did before.

Well, I’m sorry but I have no more second chances to waste on you because, to be honest, you didn’t even deserve the first one.

I’ll save all my chances for someone who’ll never ask for more than one. I’ll save all my chances for a man who won’t lie to me, cheat on me or flirt with other girls.

I’ll save all my chances for a man who knows how worthy I am and who knows that one woman is enough for a whole life.

I’ll save my all chances for someone who won’t ever need a second chance because he’ll make the best of the first one he got.
