Verse 1 You called me wild, you called me reckless Said my fire was just a phase Tried to bind me to your kingdom But I was never meant to stay Pre-Chorus Every time you pull, I’m further gone You’ll never dim the light I burn upon Chorus So here’s my golden goodbye I’m not your shadow, not your alibi You can shout my name into the night But I won’t turn around, I’m taking flight This is my golden goodbye Verse 2 I gave you chances, you gave me cages Wrapped in silver, laced with lies But you can’t bottle up a sunrise I’ll keep burning through the sky Pre-Chorus Every chain you hold just turns to dust I only answer to my fire, my trust Chorus So here’s my golden goodbye I’m not your shadow, not your alibi You can shout my name into the night But I won’t turn around, I’m taking flight This is my golden goodbye Bridge You thought I’d bow, but I rise higher My heart’s a hymn, my pulse a choir I’m not your past, I’m not your war I’m not your problem anymore Final Chorus So here’s my golden goodbye I’m not your shadow, not your alibi You can chase my light, but you’ll never find The girl you lost when you crossed the line This is my golden goodbye
