The Day You Walked Out

[Verse 1]
The best day
Was the day you walked out
Suitcase shaking in your hand
But your jaw was proud
You said
“I’m done
Being what they say I should”
I watched you slam that door
Thought you were gone for good
[Chorus]
The best day
Was the day you walked out
The day you gave up
On the life that dragged you down
You wanted to be free
You called it independence
But that was the day your life fell over
‘Cause you did what you wanted
You learned the hard way
[Verse 2]
You burned through friends
Like matches in your car
Sleeping on floors
Chasing some distant star
You called at 3 a.m
Voice cracked
Trying to laugh
Saying
“I think I lost myself
Out here on my own path”
[Chorus]
The best day
Was the day you walked out
The day you gave up
On the life that dragged you down
You wanted to be free
You called it independence
But that was the day your life fell over
‘Cause you did what you wanted
You learned the hard way
[Bridge]
Now im back on my old  porch
Eyes tired
But clear
Saying
“I had to lose it all
Just to end up here” (yeah)
[Chorus]
The best day
Was the day you walked out
The day you gave up
So you could finally turn around
You wanted to be free
Now you know what that meant
That was the day your old life ended
And the day this one began
‘Cause you did what you wanted
You learned the hard way
