[Intro] (Soft snarl) [spoken, blunt, gritty] Careful, you might feel this. (scoff laugh) [Verse 1] You looked me in the eye with your best vacant smile Said you were giving me a test, a chance to go the extra mile But days turned to months, and I gave you my best You took everything and left me with the rest After four long years of steady burnout by your hand You sent me sprinting in circles to prove I could still stand But through it all, you never meant to let me stay You just extracted what was left of me, and then threw me away [Pre-Chorus] You wrote my story, and you orchestrated the end Burned me down to the ground, and then left me for dead But I’m fighting through the ashes, still burning through the shame You’d be amazed what I can do when I’m not crushed under your blame [Chorus] You left me in the fire And thought I’d break But I’m steadily healing With every step I take I’m rising from the wreckage Moving on from your lies You no longer control me, I’m telling you goodbye [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] You called it support while you stole my air Said I wasn’t enough, yet you kept me there Scavenged my time, my soul, my force Left me running on empty without remorse But I’m learning to break the locks of this cage And doing battle with the sneaky little demons that you made I’m finding the power that I’d buried deep inside And rekindling the inner spark I’d thought had died [Pre-Chorus] You undermined me every time I got close You spoke like a hero while you tightened the rope But now I’m free from your insidious games You acted in your own best interest, now I’m doing the same [Chorus] You left me in the fire And thought I’d break But I’m steadily healing With every step I take I’m rising from the wreckage Moving on from your lies You no longer control me, I’m telling you goodbye [Bridge] You convinced me that I was too sensitive, too weak That my voice was worthless so why should I even bother to speak? But I’m finding my voice again, it’s quiet but resolute Turns out it’s easier to be heard when I’m free to unmute [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] You left me in the fire And thought I’d break You may have won that round But make no mistake I’m rising from the wreckage Moving on from your lies You no longer control me, This is goodbye [Outro] This is my goodbye. I’m making a big old comeback.
