gentle moments where my heart is true
(Verse 1) I'm shedding skin I never want to wear, It hurts to grow, it hurts to heal the soul. I try to breathe a cleaner, fresher air, While trying to make my broken pieces whole. But footsteps echo from a distant place, Of ghosts who want to tie me to my past, Who throw old failures right into my face, And whisper that the damage has to last. (Chorus) Just leave me alone, let me walk my own way, I’m burying shadows to welcome the day. Stop dragging me back to the person I was, I’m breaking the chains and I’m shedding the flaws. I want to be peaceful, I want to be free, To love what I love and let go of the me They keep trying to hold. (Verse 2) They wave my history like a warning sign, As if a person never gets to change. They cross a boundary that isn't theirs to line, And make my quiet healing feel so strange. They use the old mistakes to build a cage, And laugh while I am fighting for my breath, As if my life is just a scripted page, Condemned to carry judgment unto death. (Chorus) Just leave me alone, let me walk my own way, I’m burying shadows to welcome the day. Stop dragging me back to the person I was, I’m breaking the chains and I’m shedding the flaws. I want to be peaceful, I want to be free, To love what I love and let go of the me They keep trying to hold. (Verse 3) I only want the quiet and the space, To tend the little things that bring me joy. To look at the horizon and embrace A future that no whispers can destroy. I love the art, the music, and the light, The gentle moments where my heart is true. I just want silence in the lonely night, Away from everything they put me through. (Chorus) Just leave me alone, let me walk my own way, I’m burying shadows to welcome the day. Stop dragging me back to the person I was, I’m breaking the chains and I’m shedding the flaws. I want to be peaceful, I want to be free, To love what I love and let go of the me They keep trying to hold. (Verse 4) The mirror shows a stranger fighting through, A better person born of pain and sweat. I am so tired of proving what is true, And drowning in the ink of their regret. So let them talk and let the distance grow, I’m locking every door and pulling shades. There’s nothing left of yesterday to show, Except the quiet where the noise just fades. (Chorus) Just leave me alone, let me walk my own way, I’m burying shadows to welcome the day. Stop dragging me back to the person I was, I’m breaking the chains and I’m shedding the flaws. I want to be peaceful, I want to be free, To love what I love and let go of the me They keep trying to hold.
