“Leave It Behind”

Verse 1

You held my heart like it was temporary

Loved my skin but never cared to know me deeply

Every touch felt warm, every word felt cold

You wanted the shine, never the soul

I gave my nights, I gave my pain

Smiled through storms just to hear my name

Everybody clapped when I looked alive

But nobody checked if I survived

Pre-Chorus

Now I see the truth in every scar

I was losing myself trying to be enough for y’all

Chorus

Even when I win, I feel like I lose

Built from broken promises and bruises

They loved my body, never loved my mind

Now all of that I leave behind

Yeah I leave behind

The fake love, late nights, all the lies

I’m done carrying what slowly made me die

Now all of that I leave behind

Verse 2

Used my kindness like a loaded gun

Took my light then blamed me when it was gone

I was pouring love from an empty chest

Still somehow you wanted more than I had left

I kept dancing with the devil in disguise

Calling it love while it swallowed my pride

Now the mirror finally tells me straight

You can’t heal where they only tolerate

Pre-Chorus

I was drowning just to keep you warm

Now I’m walking out of every toxic storm

Chorus

Even when I win, I feel like I lose

Built from broken promises and bruises

They loved my body, never loved my mind

Now all of that I leave behind

Yeah I leave behind

The fake love, late nights, all the lies

I’m done carrying what slowly made me die

Now all of that I leave behind

Bridge

I’m not your addiction

Not your midnight fix

Not another soul you break

Just to feel equipped

I found strength inside the pieces you destroyed

Now my silence makes more noise

Final Chorus

Even when I win, I feel like I lose

But I’m learning pain ain’t all I’m doomed to

They loved my body, never loved my mind

So I’m finally choosing my own life

Yeah I’m choosing mine

No more begging just to feel alive

No more settling for being idolized

Now all of that I leave behind

Yeah… all of that I leave behind.
