[Verse 1]
When I count my tips in the dark
I already know where I’m going
Past the house and the hard little rules
Past the names they keep throwing
They want a version of me
Folded neat in a frame
But I feel my ribs kick back
Every time they say my name
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been saving every breath
Like a match in my coat
One day I’ll strike it clean
One day I’ll let it go
[Chorus]
I’m finally free
I’m finally free
I’ll leave this hell behind me
I’m finally free
No more hands on my throat
No more “be this” and “be that”
I’ll turn my pain into a road
And never look back
[Verse 2]
I know they’ll call me selfish
I know they’ll call me cold
But they never saw the nights I spent
Trying to keep my soul
I’ve been a room full of silence
A good girl for the room
Now I want my own damn sunrise
I want my own damn tomb
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been saving every breath
Like a match in my coat
One day I’ll strike it clean
One day I’ll let it go
[Chorus]
I’m finally free
I’m finally free
I’ll leave this hell behind me
I’m finally free
No more hands on my throat
No more “be this” and “be that”
I’ll turn my pain into a road
And never look back
[Bridge]
If I’m a bruise, I’ll be a bruise that heals
If I’m a scar, let it prove I was real
I don’t need their map
I don’t need their plan
I can crawl out
I can stand
[Final Chorus]
I’m finally free
I’m finally free
I’ll leave this hell behind me
I’m finally free
No more hands on my throat
No more “be this” and “be that”
I’ll turn my pain into a road
And never look back
I’m finally free
I’m finally free
I’ll find a purpose in the wreck
I’m finally free
