I used to break when the silence came Now I breathe in the quiet like rain No more waiting by the phone No more dreaming you’re coming home I gave too much, I lost my name But I won’t play that game again Not this time, I don’t fall like before I don’t bleed just to keep you warm I’m not chasing shadows in the night Not this time, I walk toward the light Your voice was a song stuck in my mind But now it’s fading out, just static and time I’m still soft, but I’m not yours Love isn’t pain I bargain for I used to bend just to feel seen But I’ve grown roots where you cut me clean Not this time, I don’t fall like before I don’t bleed just to keep you warm I’m not chasing shadows in the night Not this time, I walk toward the light I forgive myself for what I can’t forget I won’t live in your silhouette I dance alone and I feel whole I lost you, but I found control
