won't let me leave

Absolutely — here’s an original song about feeling trapped in a relationship where someone won’t let you leave.

Won’t Let Me Leave

Verse 1

I packed my dreams inside a suitcase,

Put my tears beneath my clothes,

You keep saying, “Baby, stay here,”

But my heart already knows.

Every time I find the courage,

You pull me back into your arms,

You call it love, but I feel trapped,

And I’m tired of all the harm.

Pre-Chorus

You hold me like you’re scared to lose me,

But you never hear me when I say,

I’m slowly disappearing here,

And I just need to get away.

Chorus

You won’t let me leave,

But you don’t let me breathe,

You say you love me,

But you’re breaking me.

I’ve cried a thousand tears,

I’ve swallowed all my fears,

But tonight I’m choosing me,

Even if you won’t let me leave.

Verse 2

You promise that tomorrow changes,

But tomorrow looks the same,

Every “sorry” turns to silence,

Every silence turns to pain.

I remember who I used to be,

Before I lost myself in you,

Now I’m standing at the doorway,

Trying to find the strength to move.

Pre-Chorus

You hold me like you’re scared to lose me,

But love should never feel this way,

I gave you every piece of me,

Now I’m taking mine away.

Chorus

You won’t let me leave,

But you don’t let me breathe,

You say you love me,

But you’re breaking me.

I’ve cried a thousand tears,

I’ve swallowed all my fears,

But tonight I’m choosing me,

Even if you won’t let me leave.

Bridge

I’m not your prisoner,

I’m not your possession,

My heart is mine,

And this is my decision.

You can scream my name,

You can beg me to stay,

But I’ve found my voice,

And I’m walking away.

Final Chorus

You won’t let me leave,

But now I’m gonna breathe,

I finally understand

What loving me should mean.

No more tears, no more fear,

No more waiting for you to change,

You can’t keep holding me,

I’m finally breaking free.

Outro

You wouldn’t let me leave…

So I learned to set myself free.If you want, I can also make it more emotional, darker, romantic, or like an Afrobeat/Amapiano song.
