Breaking Free

Echoes in the silence, fading every word,

This heart's been torn asunder, now I'm feeling blurred.

I packed my bags with shadows, ghosts within my mind,

Thought of loving you was sweet, but now I've left it behind.

The nights we danced so close, now they feel so far,

You hold on like a vice, but I'm searching for a star.

I whispered all my secrets, laid my heart on lock,

But love isn’t a prison, it shouldn’t feel like a rock.

I’m breaking chains, I’m drawing lines,

This chapter’s closed; it’s time I shine.

Don’t hold me back, don’t make it hard,

I’ve got to find my way, I’ll mend my scars.

Every promise that you made, just echoes in my dreams,

Your smile lost its magic, now it’s frayed at the seams.

I’ll walk away from heartache, rise above the pain,

This love was once my sunshine, now I’m caught in the rain.

You think love is holding tight, but I need to be free,

You see me fading, but don’t want to see me leave.

I’m breaking chains, I’m drawing lines,

This chapter’s closed; it’s time I shine.

Don’t hold me back, don’t make it hard,

I’ve got to find my way, I’ll mend my scars.

And if you find me in the shadows, know I won’t regret,

Every lesson that you taught me, every tear I wept.

So gather up your memories, let them drift away,

I’m chasing down the horizon, brighter than today.

I’m breaking chains, I’m drawing lines,

This chapter’s closed; it’s time I shine.

Don’t hold me back, don’t make it hard,

I’ve got to find my way, I’ll mend my scars.

So goodbye to the shadows, to the chains that bind,

I’m stepping into sunlight, I’m leaving you behind.
