[Intro]
Yeah
You gotta
Let me go
[Verse 1]
You only call when you’re cornered
You only cry when you’re caught
You turn my scars into stories
Then say I’m doing a lot
You twist my name in your fingers
Like it’s a wire you pull
Say it’s all love, then you swing first
Leave me to clean up the bull
Bruises under this hoodie
Stress carved into my face
You say I’m cold, but you froze me
Then blamed me for the ice in this place
[Chorus]
Let me go
Before I break, before I fold
Cut this rope
I’m not your saint, I’m not your home
Let me go
You love control, you hate my soul
If you won’t hold what you broke
Then let me go
[Verse 2]
You got my fears in a folder
Pull them up when you’re bored
You say I’m “too damn emotional”
While you’re flipping every board
You burn my texts like incense
Pray over all your lies
Post that you’re “finally healing”
While you’re still bleeding me dry
I gave you space in my ribcage
You turned the room to a grave
Now every beat is a protest
Every breath is me walking away
[Chorus]
Let me go
Before I break, before I fold
Cut this rope
I’m not your saint, I’m not your home
Let me go
You love control, you hate my soul
If you won’t hold what you broke
Then let me go
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
You only miss me when I’m distant
You only love me when I’m done
You only chase me for the image
You only hate to see me run
[crescendo, autotuned harmonies]
So this is it, this is closure
This is me locking the door
If you still need me as your monster
You can haunt your own floor
[Chorus]
Let me go
Before I break, before I fold
Cut this rope
I’m not your saint, I’m not your home
Let me go
You love control, you hate my soul
If you won’t hold what you broke
Then let me go
