[Verse 1] Thirteen years behind your shadow, barely knew who I became. At first, you smiled so warmly, but it all just masked the game. Rose-colored glasses, perfect lies, every word a sweet disguise. But the shine began to fade, and I saw the truth in your eyes. [Pre-Chorus] I gave you all I had to give, but you always needed more. Cold as stone, without a heart, and I was breaking at the core. [Chorus] But soon I’ll be free of you, feel the wind behind my back. I can breathe again, remember what I lost along your track. I was laughter, I was light, before you dimmed my inner flame. You don’t pull my strings no longer – soon you’ll just be a name. [Verse 2] You drained me like a parasite, stole my will and all my fire. I thought I could somehow save you, but you never climbed higher. I was numb, I was a ghost, just surviving, not alive. Forgotten who I used to be – but now, I will revive. [Pre-Chorus] I see her now – the girl I was, smiling bright and full of grace. And I swear I’ll never let your darkness take her place. [Chorus] 'Cause soon I’ll be free of you, walking strong, no looking back. Wearing scars that tell my story, but I’m back on my own track. I was laughter, I was light, before you dimmed my inner flame. You don’t pull my strings no longer – soon you’ll just be a name. [Bridge] And if you whisper, “Please, just stay…” I’ll turn around and walk away. 'Cause now I know the truth, the cost – you were never mine to save. [Final Chorus – stronger, empowered] Yeah, soon I’ll be free of you, don’t need answers, don’t need pain. You were just a broken chapter – I’m the writer now again. I was laughter, I was light, and I’m rising from the ash. I’ve reclaimed the girl you buried – and you? You’re in the past.
