[verse 1] I’ve walked the miles with stones in my shoes Carried the weight of borrowed blues Built my house on shifting sand Still I held the line, still I made my stand [pre-chorus] But silence speaks a deeper truth Than all the storms I’ve stumbled through No more chasing shadows thin The tide goes out, I won’t wade in [chorus] I’m not mad, I’m just finished Like a song whose chords diminished No fire left to burn me down No need to fight, no need to drown I’m not bitter, I’m not blind I leave the empty hands behind No battle scars to be relived I’m not mad, I’m just finished [verse 2] I’ve given love where echoes fade Poured from a well that never stayed Watched the garden starve for rain And learned that roots won’t hold in vain [bridge] So take the pieces I let fall They’re not my burden after all I walk away with steady grace A quiet soul, an open space [chorus] I’m not mad, I’m just finished Like a bell whose tone’s extinguished No fight, no drama, no defense Just the calm of consequence I’m not bitter, I’m not blind I leave the hollow reach behind The page is turned, the light has shifted I’m not mad, I’m just finished [outro] No hate, no rage, just clarity I’m simply finished — and finally free.
