I’m Walking

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
