Since the Day I Left

You say I’m a quitter

Say I’m weak

Say there ain’t a woman

On this earth for me

Call me the villain

In every regret

But baby, don’t forget

You helped make me like this

You wore those fake smiles

While cutting me down

Yeah, you chipped at my heart

Till I figured it out

So thank yourself now

If you’re feeling alone

’Cause I’m gone for good

And I ain’t coming home

You broke me just enough

To finally see

I don’t need your voice

Living inside of me

You say I’m not pretty

Well maybe

Not for you

I don’t got a model body

Yeah, that part’s true

But baby, you should know

I finally see myself

I never felt this wanted

Since the day I left

You said I’d never make it

Said I’d fall apart

But you of all people

Know my heart

I don’t fold easy

I don’t scare and run

I bend, I heal

And I become

Funny how the silence

Started calling my name

Funny how the world

Looks different now I’m free from your blame

I learned my lesson here

Yeah, I paid my dues

Turns out I was strong

Just not with you

You say I’m not pretty

Well maybe

Not for you

I don’t got a model body

Yeah, that part’s true

But baby, you should know

I finally chose myself

I never felt this wanted

Since the day I left

I don’t need perfection

Don’t need to compete

I don’t need a mirror

Telling me who to be

I don’t need saving

Don’t need a hand

If I need a hero

I’ll be my own man

You say I’m not pretty

Well maybe

Not for you

I don’t got a model body

Yeah, that part’s true

But baby, now you know

I finally found my breath

I never felt this wanted

Since the day I left

Yeah, I never felt this wanted

Since the day I left

Outro (gentle, almost smiling)

Since the day I left…

Yeah… since the day I left
