Skies Won't Fall

You said you loved me, but love doesn't leave marks. You said you needed me, but need doesn't break hearts. I learned your moods when you started to drink ale, walking on eggshells, every day was just the same. And I stayed, God help me, I stayed, Because you told me leaving was betrayal. Because you told me no one else would want me, And I believed you, For a while, I believed you. I walked out the door and skies did not fall. Nobody chased in anger, nobody really cared. The world spinned without asking pretty please, I didn't need it, nobody really needed ye. There were those silences, filled with fear and despair. There were those victories, but with your fists they disappeared. You said you loved me, you said I deserved it and "you are mine"... And even the sweetest words sounded like a chain. Friends said, "he didn't do that on purpose, he's not a threat". I know you did, that smirk I shall never forget. Now I'm out... now I'm out! I walked out the door and skies did not fall, I screamed and cried, until crumbled were the walls. Silences are not filled with fear anymore, For I am alone, never like before. I don't need you to say "I confess", I don't need you to say "I've made some progress", I just needed you to stay away from me, Live your life with who's just like ye. I'll walk out the door and skies won't fall. Oh no, my old me is no longer small. I won't look back no matter what you say, It is my way, for I'm OK.. I'll be OK. Silence fills the air, but air is so clean The light is still blue on my screen I am far away, you are where you deserve to be... And I... Well... I will be with me.
