[Verse 1]
You said I’d never make it out,
Said this town would hold me down.
Everybody had a reason
Why I shouldn’t dream out loud.
So I packed up every doubt,
Threw it in the backseat.
Didn’t have a map,
Just enough gas to disappear.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
You can keep talking.
I’m already gone.
⸻
[Chorus]
Watch me leave.
Don’t blink now.
I’m too far gone
To turn around.
Watch me leave.
Windows down.
All that noise
Don’t make a sound.
You said I’d stay.
You said I’d fall.
Funny how
You missed it all.
Watch me leave.
⸻
[Verse 2]
Everybody wants the ending,
Nobody likes page one.
Everybody loves a winner
After all the work is done.
I quit asking for permission.
Started asking, “Why not me?”
Funny what can happen
When you finally set yourself free.
⸻
[Bridge]
Maybe coming back
Was never part of the plan.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Watch me leave.
Headlights on.
Chasing something
Bigger than home.
Watch me leave.
No regrets.
I’ll remember you…
But I won’t stay yet.
⸻
[Outro]
You wanted proof.
Now watch.
