I found the door

[Verse 1]
You said love was loud when it slammed
When it echoed down the hallway like a brand
You called it "tough" when it tore through my skin
Said the bruises were proof I let you in

I wore your storms like second skin
Walked on eggshells just to keep from sin
Every smile was just a dare to fall
Every hug felt more like a warning call

[Pre-Chorus]
You dressed your chains up like devotion
Made your rage feel like an ocean
But I stopped drowning in your tide
The day I stopped believing your lies

[Chorus]
I found the door, I turned the key
Took the part of me you couldn't see
You called it weakness, I call it free
No more twisted love controlling me
Your name don’t echo through my bones
I walk this world, but not alone
I found the door — and I’m finally home

[Verse 2]
You broke me down just to feel tall
Taught me silence like it’s gospel law
Called it “care” when you pulled my strings
Tied my worth to the fear you'd bring

But now I breathe without permission
Built a life outside your prison
Love don’t scream or leave you small
And blood ain’t thicker when it breaks you raw

[Pre-Chorus]
You dressed your guilt up like protection
Played my heart like your reflection
But I stopped bleeding for your pride
The day I looked you in the eye and said goodbye

[Chorus]
I found the door, I turned the key
Took the part of me you couldn't see
You called it weakness, I call it free
No more twisted love controlling me
Your name don’t echo through my bones
I walk this world, but not alone
I found the door — and I’m finally home

[Bridge]
You don’t get to call it love now
Not when it’s built on breaking vows
I carry scars, but not your shame
You don’t get to speak my name

[Final Chorus]
I found the door, I turned the key
Left your ghost with the memories
You called it love, but love’s not pain
I stepped out into the pouring rain
Washed your voice out of my soul
Lit the match and let it go
I found the door — and now I know...

[Outro]
I was never yours to hold that way
And I won’t ever go back
Not one day
