[Intro | Clean guitar + kick pulse building] I stayed too long in the echo of you… But I don’t live there anymore… [Verse 1 | Steady groove, warm tone] I used to trace every word that you said Like it was truth carved into my head But every promise turned into smoke And I kept breathing what nearly broke me Now I see clear through the static haze All the nights, all the wasted days You were a shadow I tried to save But I was digging my own damn grave [Pre-Chorus | Rising energy, layered vocals] I gave you everything— You gave me silence back… [Chorus | Explosive, uplifting] Now I run like fire through the dark Burning every memory, every mark I don’t need you—I don’t need the pain I won’t ever be that lost again I’m alive now—feel it in my veins No more chains, no more holding weight You let me go, now I’m breaking free And I finally found what’s left of me [Verse 2 | Stronger, more confident tone] You tried to keep me inside your frame Like I was something you could contain But I was never yours to hold Just a story you almost told Now I’m louder than your control Every fracture made me whole Every scar is a signal flare Saying “I made it out of there” [Pre-Chorus | Bigger, driving drums] You pulled me under— But I learned to breathe… [Chorus | Full band, massive] Now I run like fire through the dark Lighting up every broken part I don’t need you—I don’t need the past I was built to outlive that I’m alive now—hear my name Through the thunder, through the flame You let me go, now I can see You were never what I need [Bridge | Breakdown → rebuild] (Half-time, emotional → rising) No more waiting… No more falling apart… I take it back—every piece of my heart (Drums build, guitars swell) You don’t define me— You never did… [Final Chorus | Huge, cathartic release] Now I run like fire—watch me rise No more shadows in my eyes Every step is a brand new start I’m reclaiming every part I’m alive now—louder than before I don’t need you anymore You let me go—and now I see That was the best thing you did for me [Outro | Clean guitar + distant crowd echo vibe] I stayed too long… But I made it out… And I’m not looking back.
