Verse 1
You used to meet me in the dark,
Softest whisper, quiet spark,
Promised peace when I felt torn,
Held me close when hope felt worn.
I thought you were the friend I needed,
Every warning sign I heeded,
You knew my fears, you knew my pain,
You wrapped yourself around my shame.
Pre-Chorus
But what felt like comfort, warm and kind,
Was slowly stealing my heart and mind.
Chorus
So goodbye, old friend, I don’t need you now,
I’ve learned to stand without your vow,
You had your hold, you had your say,
But grace has led me a different way.
I see you clear for what you’ve been,
A shadow dressed up like a friend,
Goodbye, old friend, I’m finally free,
You don’t have a place in me.
Verse 2
You walked with me through fragile years,
Fed on my doubts and fueled my fears,
Told me I couldn’t make it through,
Without leaning back on you.
But strength grew quiet in the pain,
A deeper voice broke every chain,
I found a light you couldn’t dim,
A healing I didn’t find in you, but Him.
Pre-Chorus
And every step away I take,
Is proof you were my mistake.
Chorus
So goodbye, old friend, I don’t need you now,
I’ve learned to stand without your vow,
You had your hold, you had your say,
But mercy showed a better way.
I see you clear for what you’ve been,
A thief disguised beneath my skin,
Goodbye, old friend, I’m finally free,
You don’t have a place in me.
Bridge
I won’t pretend you weren’t there,
You filled a void I didn’t know how to repair,
But now that emptiness is filled with light,
And I don’t fear the coming night.
Final Chorus
Goodbye, old friend, the door is closed,
To the chapter where your power rose,
I walk ahead with steady breath,
Into a life you couldn’t give.
No backward glance, no hidden plea,
Your hold is gone, you’ve lost on me,
Goodbye, old friend, I’m finally free,
And who I am is enough for me.
