Move on

Verse 1

I wanted you to understand,

But your “understanding” was ignorance, hand in hand.

I wanted it all to finally end,

But you kept me spinning in the cycle, the same dance again.

Tired of drowning in the rage,

Every lie, every twist, built another cage.

Fooled my mind into thinking it was me,

My illness, my anxiety, wouldn’t let me breathe.

You said, “Leave it to me, I’ll handle this,”

But fear whispered, “He’ll kill you, don’t resist.”

I knew that man, I knew his kind,

I grew numb and empty inside.

So I hid in the back with nothing to share,

No love, no hate, just silence there.

Till I broke down, couldn’t weather the storm,

Pulled the lever, ended up in a hospital ward.

⸻

Chorus

I just wanted peace of mind,

I just wanted a little peace.

Tired of fighting in the dark,

I was begging just to be released.

I just wanted peace of mind,

A quiet place my soul could breathe.

But the harder I reached for freedom,

The tighter your grip on me.

⸻

Verse 2

You twisted my words till I lost my voice,

Gaslit my soul, stripped away my choice.

Made me question every thought I had,

Painted me the villain, when you were the mask.

Said I was broken, said I was weak,

You cut me down every time I’d speak.

Built me up only to break me apart,

Left me a hollow shell with a bleeding heart.

I became a ghost of the man I knew,

A shadow that even I couldn’t get through.

Chained by your love, but it wasn’t real,

Just a weapon you used, just a wound that won’t heal.

⸻

Chorus

I just wanted peace of mind,

I just wanted a little peace.

Tired of fighting in the dark,

I was begging just to be released.

I just wanted peace of mind,

A quiet place my soul could breathe.

But the harder I reached for freedom,

The tighter your grip on me.

⸻

Bridge

I had to get away, had to break the chains,

Had to find myself, had to ease the pain.

It took finding someone who showed me light,

To remember I was worth the fight.

Now I’m the bad one in your story told,

While your lies keep painting me cold.

But I know the truth, I know what’s real,

You nearly killed me, but I refused to kneel.

⸻

Chorus (repeat, more intense)

I just wanted peace of mind,

I just wanted a little peace.

Tired of fighting in the dark,

I was begging just to be released.

I just wanted peace of mind,

A quiet place my soul could breathe.

Now I’m standing in my freedom,

You’ve got no more hold on me.

⸻

Outro

I just wanted peace…

I just wanted peace…

But I found it in the end,

When I chose myself again.
