Verse 1
I tried to bend, I tried to stay
Told myself love is worth the pain
I lowered my voice, I swallowed my pride
But your heart never met me halfway
I wanted someone to ask how my day went
To check if I made it home safe
To say “good morning” and “good night”
Instead, I was left in empty space
Pre-Chorus
I changed my love just to fit your comfort
Held my needs, hid my truth
But love is not supposed to cost me
Everything I am, everything I do
Chorus
I’m walking, yeah, I’m walking
No more shrinking, no more stalling
I won’t beg for your attention
Or apologize for needing affection
I’m walking, and I’m free
This heart’s not yours to break
I deserve love that shows up
Not love that takes
Verse 2
You never apologized when you were wrong
Waited for me to fold, waited for me to fall
I went out, you got mad
Never cared if I was hurt at all
I’m done adjusting my soul for your comfort
Done hiding my fire just to please
I’ll take my love where it’s treasured
Where it’s safe, where it’s real, where it breathes
Bridge
I don’t need to explain my leaving
I don’t need to beg for care
This isn’t bitterness, it’s clarity
I finally learned what love is there
Chorus (Repeat)
I’m walking, yeah, I’m walking
No more shrinking, no more stalling
I won’t beg for your attention
Or apologize for needing affection
I’m walking, and I’m free
This heart’s not yours to break
I deserve love that shows up
Not love that takes
Outro
So goodbye, I’m saying it loud
I’m choosing me, I’m proud
No more fading, no more pretending
I’m walking — my healing’s just beginning
