[Verse]
Heart heavy, but my feet hit the pavement,
Soul untied, lost the engagement.
Keys on the counter, left ‘em with the lies,
Freedom in my chest, storm in my skies.
Told me I was small, now I’m standing tall,
Shrinking in your shadow, now I break the wall.
Every tear fell, now they water my seed,
Bloom from the pain, yeah, I’m what I need.
[Chorus]
Cut the cord, I’m alive again,
No more drowning in your oxygen.
Found my voice in the silence loud,
Exhale the past, I’m unbowed.
[Verse 2]
Your love was a mirror, cracked and cruel,
Reflected my flaws, tried to make me the fool.
But I see clear, no distortion now,
Rewrote the script, took my final bow.
Piano stabs echo where the love used to sit,
Soulful samples hum, this is it.
No rewind button, no looking back,
I’m the queen of my path, painted it black.
[Bridge]
Left your ghost in the rearview,
Tires screeching on the avenue.
I’m the phoenix in the ash you made,
From your shadow, I’ve finally strayed.
