Verse 1]
You used to hate my ripped-up jeans
Said my friends were “bad for me”
Rolled your eyes at every laugh
Like fun was something we couldn’t have
Had me shrinking just to fit
Second-guessing every bit
Now your side of the bed’s ice cold
And honestly? I’ve never felt this gold
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Now my phone ain’t blowing up
“Where you at?” “Who’s that?” “That enough?”
I can finally breathe at night
Neon freedom looks damn right
⸻
[Chorus]
So here’s my goodbye with a drink raised high
I’m dancing on the ashes of your control tonight
I can wear what I want, stay out till three
No more asking permission just to be me
Got my girls in the back singing “fuck that dude”
Whole damn city vibing to my attitude
You said nobody else would put up with me
Funny, the whole bar’s buying shots for free
So cheers to the heartbreak, cheers to the pain
Turns out losing you was my champagne rain
Yeah, this breakup hurt
But baby, so did you
⸻
[Verse 2]
Remember how you’d start a fight
If I looked “too good” on a Friday night?
Now I’m glitter boots and red lipstick stains
Singing loud with my last name
You called me crazy, called me wild
Now strangers love the way I smile
Ain’t it funny how life works out?
You locked the cage, I figured out the route
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
No more crying in bathroom stalls
No more waiting on your calls
My friends say I came back to life
The second I became ex-wife
⸻
[Chorus]
So here’s my goodbye with a drink raised high
I’m dancing on the ashes of your control tonight
I can wear what I want, stay out till three
No more asking permission just to be me
Got my girls in the back singing “fuck that dude”
Whole damn city vibing to my attitude
You said nobody else would put up with me
Funny, the whole bar’s buying shots for free
⸻
[Bridge / Party Breakdown]
DJ turn it louder, let the windows shake
I spent too many years being scared to take up space
Now it’s bass drops, cowboy boots, tattoos in the light
And every damn thing you hated looks good tonight
My friends screaming:
“TO FREEDOM!”
Shots up to the ceiling
No more walking on eggshells
No more fake feelings
⸻
[Final Chorus]
So here’s my goodbye, no tears this time
You lost a wildfire trying to draw a straight line
I’m out here laughing, finally free
Turns out the problem wasn’t me
Yeah, I’ll wear what I want
And I’ll kiss who I please
And I’ll dance with my friends
Till I fall to my knees
You wanted a girl who stayed in place
But I was born to run wild anyway
