[Verse 1] Some days I want the whole shape gone, Every careful thing undone. Not for grief, not for a grand escape— Just the bright first breath of an empty page. [Pre-Chorus] I can almost feel the quiet start, A clean horizon in my chest. Then I remember every living heart That would have to carry what I left. [Chorus] I want to watch it all come loose, To meet the world with nothing to lose. But I know your face, I know their names, And love keeps a hand against the flame. So I stay—not because I’m unafraid, But because your hurt would be mine to make. [Verse 2] There’s a thrill in the thought of no old design, No borrowed shape, no familiar line. Then your voice comes through the imagined hush, And the bright new start feels less like enough. [Bridge] Maybe change can begin without a wreck, Maybe I can leave one piece intact. I can turn, I can choose, I can still begin— Without making you pay for the skin I’m in. [Final Chorus] I want to watch it all come loose, To meet the world with nothing to lose. But I know your face, I know their names, And love keeps a hand against the flame. So I stay, and I start anew— Not by breaking us, but by breaking through. [Outro] I stay. I start anew.
