Lyrics by: Crystallineheart ©️ Copyright 2025 I've been there Feeling so constricted Suffocating Barely surviving the days Like everything was stripped away from me My voice, my own sense of independence, my dreams, my routines and schedule My whole world was flipped upside down due to a selfish asshole who tore my heart and life apart and threw his family away Don't wanna live feeling so constricted So boxed in and shrinking down Minimizing and dimming my light Want to live with quiet strong confidence Continuing to build empathy while still standing my ground Setting boundaries No more apologizing for things I don't need to apologize for No more undermining my capabilities No more shrinking myself down below what I'm worth Don't wanna live feeling so constricted So boxed in and shrinking down Minimizing and dimming my light Gonna keep living Expanding and remaining open For personal growth Making progress towards the person I'm meant to be
