Cut the Line

STUDIO

[Verse 1]
This apartment feels bigger
Since you took your things and left.
Changed the sheets, opened the windows,
Let a little life back in.
Found your promises,
Half-written, half-broken.
Read 'em one last time,
Then I let 'em go.
You were always talkin' 'bout tomorrow
While I was still waitin' on today.
You took my hours, took my mornings,
Till I disappeared along the way.
I learned to count
The empty spaces.
Measure every
Kind of pain.
Then I learned
Inside the silence
You can fall
And rise again.

[Pre-Chorus]
You wanted me to come back
With the same old doubts, same old questions.
But I rebuilt my future
From the pieces of your wreckage.
If you're lookin' for the girl I was,
You're gonna search for a long time.
She didn't die,
She just changed.
She finally learned
To live her life.

[Chorus]
Your call is ringin' in the void
And I ain't pickin' up.
I left behind the doubt
And everything that looked like us.
You wanted to keep me locked up,
I chose to break away.
I turned that key twice,
And I'm not lookin' back today.
CUT THE LINE
Silence after your voice.
CUT THE LINE
This time, I choose myself.
I paid the price
For our whole story,
But I don't owe you
Anything tonight.
CUT THE LINE
And I can finally
Find my way back home.

[Verse 2]
I didn't count the years,
I counted every sleepless night.
Every time your absence
Made me lose my faith in myself.
You always knew the right words
To make me wait a little more.
But words don't mean a thing
When your actions say the opposite.
You said,
"Without me, you'll go under."
Look at me,
I'm still standing here.
I took my time back,
Took my dreams back.
Now I know
Exactly what I'm worth.
Still here.
Still standing.
Still mine.

[Bridge]
I only ever wanted
Something real.
Not promises for tomorrow.
Not "I love you"
When it suits you.
Not another morning
Full of sorrow.
I don't need to hate you
To know that this is over.
I kept a few memories,
But I don't have a reason to stay.
Tonight,
I close the door.
No noise.
No final fight.
Some endings hurt a little less
When you know
You're doing right.

[Final Chorus]
Your call is ringin' in the void
And something in me can breathe.
I don't need to understand
Everything we couldn't say.
You wanted to keep my shadow,
But I chose to keep the light.
I turned that key twice
And this time,
I'm moving on with my life.
CUT THE LINE
I'm not waiting anymore.
CUT THE LINE
I finally found myself.
I think.
I paid the price
For our whole story,
But I don't owe it
Anything tonight.
CUT THE LINE
And I can finally
Find my way back home.

[Outro]
Three in the morning...
I put my phone down.
No more dial tone.
Nothing left to prove.
Let it ring...
I don't need to hear you.

[Intro] Three in the morning... Your keys are still sitting on the table. I spent so long looking for the words... But silence says it better. I close the door real slow. No anger. No goodbye. Some doors are meant to open... Some you close for life. [Verse 1] This apartment feels bigger Since you took your things and left. Changed the sheets, opened the windows, Let a little life back in.
