I found the door

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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...

I was never yours to hold that way

And I won’t ever go back

Not one day
