【Intro】 You don't like weak women That's what you always say But every time I tried to stand You pushed me back again 【Verse 1】 You saw the fear inside of me And used it like a shield You called it keeping me safe But I knew how it really felt You needed me to stay smaller So you could feel like a man Every time I found some courage You found a way to make me bend I know I'm not the strongest I know I still have my fears So don't laugh when I admit it I've been fighting them for years 【Pre-Chorus】 I know complaining changes nothing I know I have to move But every time I tried to leave You made me doubt myself again 【Chorus】 So I'm leaving here tonight I'm done standing in your shadow I can't grow inside these walls I can't breathe when you hold me down You can keep your pride and power I don't need them anymore I'm walking out into the unknown And I'm not afraid of the door 【Verse 2】 Maybe I won't know what comes next Maybe I'll get lost somewhere Maybe I'll have nights when I'm scared And wish that I were prepared But I'd rather face the unknown Than stay where I disappear I'd rather stumble on my own Than live my whole life in fear You called my weakness something shameful You made me feel it every day But weakness isn't a reason To let somebody take my life away 【Pre-Chorus】 I know complaining changes nothing I know I have to move So I'm taking what is left of me And giving myself room 【Chorus】 So I'm leaving here tonight I'm done standing in your shadow I can't grow inside these walls I can't breathe when you hold me down You can keep your pride and power I don't need them anymore I'm walking out into the unknown And I'm not afraid of the door 【Bridge】 Don't laugh I know I'm scared I know I'm not ready But I'm going anyway I don't need to become fearless I just need to stop staying here The first step may be shaking But it's still a step away 【Chorus】 So I'm leaving here tonight I'm done standing in your shadow I can't grow inside these walls I can't breathe when you hold me down You can keep your pride and power I don't need them anymore I'm walking out into the unknown And I'm not afraid of the door 【Outro】 The night feels different outside The air feels different too I take one long breath And nothing tells me what to do No one is standing over me No one is telling me I'm small I don't know where I'm going yet But I can finally hear my own thoughts Maybe I'm still a little weak Maybe I always will be But this is my life now And I can finally breathe So I leave this place behind And take my first step alone I don't know what's waiting for me But I know I'm going home
