(Verse 1) You say I lied with venom on your tongue, Like every scar I carry means I’ve done you wrong. But I never said I didn’t care, Never said they weren’t family there. Still you drag my name through broken glass, Like I’m chained forever to our past. You throw words like gasoline, “Stupid cunt,” “selfish queen,” Try to paint me black and white, While I stand here choosing not to fight. (Pre-Chorus) What does it say about me That I still bite my tongue for peace? What does it say about my soul That I refuse to lose control? (Chorus) You told me cut the tie, so I let it die, Handed every memory back and said goodbye. No revenge flames, no war cries, Just silence underneath bruised skies. But you keep watching me like a ghost obsessed, Waiting for me to break beneath your bitterness. You left— I forgave— So why do you need me trapped in yesterday? I won’t live in your ruins. No, I won’t stay buried in your hate. (Verse 2) You call me narcissistic while you sharpen blame, But I’m not the one still feeding off the pain. I kept taking every hit, Held my fire instead of lighting it. You wanted distance, I gave you space, Yet you still haunt every step I take. Why does my healing make you furious? Why does my freedom feel dangerous? Maybe because I finally learned Not every bridge deserves to burn me first. (Pre-Chorus) I carried peace inside my chest While chaos screamed inside your head. And somehow I’m the villain still For learning how to finally heal. (Chorus) You told me cut the tie, so I let it die, Handed every memory back and said goodbye. No revenge flames, no war cries, Just silence underneath bruised skies. But you keep watching me like a ghost obsessed, Waiting for me to break beneath your bitterness. You left— I forgave— So why do you need me trapped in yesterday? I won’t live in your ruins. No, I won’t stay buried in your hate. (Bridge) I won’t rot beside your anger. I won’t drown inside your storm. I survived the fire already— I don’t owe you ashes anymore. (Final Chorus) You told me cut the tie, so I set it free, And I won’t apologize for choosing me. You can keep your blame, your endless fight, I’m done dimming down my light. You left— I healed— And that’s the truth you cannot steal. I won’t live in your ruins… I’m finally walking out alive.
