[Verse 1]
You loved your own reflection
More than the room we shared
Every word was a weapon
Every silence, a dare
I kept shrinking for your comfort
Till I could barely breathe
You called it love, I called it
A cage with a golden key
[Pre-Chorus]
But I found my name again
In the cracks you left behind
I picked my heart off the floor
And I let it walk in line
[Chorus]
I’m leaving you behind
I’m getting back my life
You took the shine, took the fire
But I’m done being your supply
Now I see it clear, I see it clear
I don’t belong to you
I’m leaving you behind
And I’m coming back to me
[Verse 2]
Then I met him in the daylight
No grand speech, no perfect pose
He held space for my bad days
Like they mattered most
He don’t twist my truth around me
He don’t keep score when I cry
He says, “Talk to me, baby”
And then he actually tries
[Pre-Chorus]
Now my shoulders don’t stay tense
When I hear my phone go off
No more begging to be chosen
No more laughing when it hurts too much
[Chorus]
I’m leaving you behind
I’m getting back my life
You took the shine, took the fire
But I’m done being your supply
Now I see it clear, I see it clear
I don’t belong to you
I’m leaving you behind
And I’m coming back to me
[Bridge]
And if I shake sometimes
He don’t make me feel small
He just pulls me close and says
“Baby, you can have it all”
So I’m learning how to trust
What peace feels like in my hands
You broke me open, yeah
But I grew into a woman you can’t command
[Chorus]
I’m leaving you behind
I’m getting back my life
You took the shine, took the fire
But I’m done being your supply
Now I see it clear, I see it clear
I don’t belong to you
I’m leaving you behind
And I’m coming back to me
