Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Now let me talk it through with you I don’t usually open wounds, I just move, Smile stitched tight, pain tucked out of view, I been bleeding quietly, how ‘bout you? Days blur together, nights stretch thin, Wide awake fighting thoughts I’m buried in, I mastered showing up while fading inside, Learned how to breathe while dead in my mind. I walk past mirrors like I owe ‘em money, Can’t stand eye contact, feels too confronting, Crowds feel loud even when they’re silent, Every stare feels sharp, every breath feels violent. I keep my head down, hoodie up tight, So nobody asks if I’m losing the fight, I don’t want saving, don’t want advice, Just want the noise in my chest to go quiet. [Chorus] Going through life, living in a daze, Avoiding the crowds, ignoring everybody’s gaze, I wander through the world and it’s all a blurry haze, Counting through the reasons, Listing all the ways That I lost it, Not proud to admit That I shoulda quit, Sometimes, you just gotta walk away. Yeah, I disappear just to keep my shape, Sometimes staying hurts more than escape. [Verse 2] I stayed too long where I wasn’t okay, Called it loyalty, called it “I’ll be fine someday,” I wore exhaustion like a badge of pride, Let it eat me alive from the inside. I told myself pain was part of the deal, That breaking down meant I wasn’t real, But there’s a difference between being strong And letting the damage go on too long. I been drowning slow in familiar water, Afraid to leave ‘cause it felt like failure, But every night I felt a little less me, Like I was shrinking just to keep the peace. I replay moments I should’ve left, Every ignored red flag etched in my chest, I don’t regret love, I regret neglect— Of myself when I needed me best. [Chorus] [Bridge] Sometimes walking away ain’t weakness, It’s choosing to live with what’s left of you, You don’t owe your soul to every season, Some doors close ‘cause they’re killing you. I didn’t quit ‘cause I couldn’t endure, I left ‘cause surviving started to hurt more. [Verse 3] Now I’m learning how to sit with the quiet, It’s uncomfortable, but at least it’s honest, No more forcing smiles I don’t believe in, No more staying just to stop the bleeding. I still hurt, yeah, I still feel lost, Still pay for decisions, still count the cost, But I breathe a little easier each step back, Turns out peace don’t come from staying cracked. They won’t understand why I had to go, They didn’t hear the thoughts I live with alone, I don’t need approval, I needed relief, Needed distance so I wouldn’t completely break. If I vanish, it’s not to punish you, It’s to save the parts I was losing too, Sometimes the bravest thing you say Is knowing when to walk away. [Chorus]
