[Verse 1]
You think you can hide the pain,
Ignore it just to keep on moving,
But life isn’t about all that stupid loving,
Sometimes you gotta choose yourself,
Even when your heart keeps pulling,
I been through hell but I’m still standing,
Lost a couple people, now I understand it,
You can’t hold on to what’s already leaving,
So I let it go, now I’m finally breathing.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, I know,
Some things never last,
But I’m done, I’m done,
Looking back at the past.
[Chorus]
I’m MIA, I’m out my way,
I don’t need nobody telling me to stay,
If you love me, let me breathe,
If you hate me, let me be,
I got places I should go,
I got things I need to see,
Ain’t no looking back tonight,
I’m just tryna live my life.
[Verse 2]
Maybe pain was just a lesson,
Maybe scars are just protection,
I was searching for affection,
Now I’m searching for direction,
I don’t wanna fake a smile,
I just wanna feel alive,
If it takes a little while,
Then I’ll take my fucking time.
[Bridge]
You can’t run forever,
But you can change your pace,
Leave behind whatever
Never knew your worth anyway.
[Chorus]
I’m MIA, I’m out my way,
I don’t need nobody telling me to stay,
If you love me, let me breathe,
If you hate me, let me be,
I got places I should go,
I got things I need to see,
Ain’t no looking back tonight,
I’m just tryna live my life.
