[Verse 1] Your boots were by the doorway Your key was on the sink I watched your truck disappear Before I had a chance to think That old porch held our memories But it couldn't hold your lies I cried until the morning Then I looked myself in the eyes Red dust covered my boots Rain ran down my sleeves I carried all your promises Like something I couldn't leave But somewhere down that backroad Something inside me changed I stopped calling it forever When forever felt this way [Pre-Chorus] The house still knows your footsteps The screen door knows your name But every scar I carry Taught me how to face the flame I may bend beneath the thunder I may stumble in the rain But every time you thought you broke me I came back stronger again [Chorus] I'm done with you, but not with love You knocked me down, I rose above I danced through every shattered truth And found the woman I once knew Red clay underneath my feet Wild heart beating to the beat You can keep the lies you gave I'm walking out, I'm walking brave I'm not begging you to stay I'm choosing me today [Verse 2] I packed away your jacket Moved your picture from the wall That chipped blue coffee cup Doesn't own my mornings anymore I found an old photograph From that county fair in June We were laughing in the rain And I thought we'd make it through But memories aren't promises And pictures can't explain How someone can say "forever" Then leave you with the pain I kept your ring beside me Till it started feeling cold Then I opened up my hand And finally let it go [Pre-Chorus] I won't sit beside that window Waiting for your headlights I won't mistake your sorry For the love you got wrong twice I've cried enough for yesterday I've carried enough blame Now there's fire in my footsteps And I'm calling back my name [Chorus] I'm done with you, but not with love You knocked me down, I rose above I danced through every shattered truth And found the woman I once knew Red clay underneath my feet Wild heart beating to the beat You can keep the lies you gave I'm walking out, I'm walking brave I'm not begging you to stay I'm choosing me today [Verse 3] I turned the music louder And let the floorboards shake Every tear became a rhythm Every wound became a break I drove past Miller's Bend With the windows rolled down Left your shadow in the rearview While the sun came shining out I stopped by Mama's kitchen Drank coffee from her cup She said, "Baby, you've been hurting, But look at you you're getting up." So I laughed through all the memories And breathed in something new I don't need revenge to prove I'm finally done with you [Bridge] You were a chapter in my story Not the ending I deserved I learned that walking away Can be the bravest turn I can miss what we once were And still refuse to go back I can love the girl who loved you Without reopening that crack So let the porch light fade Let the old screen door swing Let the rain wash down the red clay And take away everything I don't need your almost I don't need your maybe I found my peace in pieces And now that peace can save me [Final Chorus] I'm done with you, but not with love You knocked me down, I rose above I danced through every shattered truth And found the woman I once knew Red clay underneath my feet Wild heart beating to the beat You can keep the lies you gave I'm walking out, I'm walking brave I'm done with tears that call your name I'm done confusing hurt with flame You were the storm I had to face Now I'm standing in my own space I'm not begging you to stay I'm choosing me today I'm choosing me today [Outro] Boot heels on the red clay Sunrise across the road I left your key behind me And dropped your heavy load The porch is still standing But I'm not who I was I survived what tried to break me And I'm still believing in love Just not the kind that makes me disappear I know my name. I know my worth. And I'm finally coming home to me.
