Verse 1 What a relief—you’re gone The air sits still, no alarms What a relief—you’re gone No pulse forced into my arms The silence doesn’t ask for more It doesn’t lean, it doesn’t take Just quiet hands around my throat That finally loosen, finally break Pre-Chorus You wore your chaos like a crown And called it truth while burning down Chorus Read the room—it’s not about you Don’t turn pain into something you can use Read the room—feel what you do Don’t shame the ones who carried you You don’t see how much you take How you bend and how you break But I see it clear now, I do And I’m not disappearing for you Verse 2 Every word, a loaded glance Every silence, your command Every word, a second chance You never tried to understand I was soft where you would strike I was calm where you would tear You called it “just the way I am” Like that made it right to wear Pre-Chorus Hold it up, don’t look away You don’t get to rewrite the blame Chorus Read the room—it’s not about you Don’t turn wounds into something you can use Read the room—feel what you do Don’t shame the ones who stayed for you You don’t know the weight I held Trying not to break myself But I see it clear now, I do And I’m not disappearing for you Bridge (tight, piercing) Not your mirror Not your shield Not the silence You could wield Test my patience, test my grace But don’t confuse that with my place Final Chorus (lift, empowered) Read the room—I’m not your proof Not your echo, not your truth Read the room—I’m walking through With or without the ghost of you You don’t own the space I take Or the strength your fire made Because of you, I drew the line And now what’s yours is no longer mine Outro (low, grounded) Read the room… I’m not yours to use
