Verse 1 I never wanted to stand in your way Or stop you from living your life day to day. We said we’d be friends, but the trust was a lie— You gave me no reason to even try. I sat in the dark while you slipped out the door, Chasing the drugs and the life you chose over ours. Now the truth's on the table, the mystery's gone: You went out to meet him, and now I move on. Pre-Chorus You thought you could break me, you thought I would bend, But this is the writing that marks out the end. I’m secure in the knowledge of what you have done, And I’m standing up stronger now that I'm gone. Verse 2 Thirteen long years living under your shade, Watching the promises crumble and fade. I carried the weight while you ran through the dark, Leaving behind every scar, every mark. I fought through the damage, the sleepless nights, Lost in the shadow of all of your fights. But pain was a teacher, and grief was the key— It took all those years just to finally see me. Chorus So go ahead and enjoy each other tonight, I’m walking away and I’m stepping to the light. In three or four years when the high fades away, He’ll replace you with another who's willing to stay. He’ll kick you to the side when the next habit starts— While I rebuild my life from the broken parts. The door is closed, the ink is dry, No more questions, no more why. I survived the storm, I survived the pain, I’m walking out into the sun again. (OUTRO) No looking back, the truth is clear— My strength begins right here. Yeah, my life begins right here..
