(Verse 1)
Remember how I lived just for silence? The one you used to fill with noise?
Well now it's just the sound of laughter, making genuine joys.
You left our home of years, the space you called your place
Stepped out into the night air, finally leaving me to live at my own pace.
(Chorus)
Just wanted to let you know, the girl you used to dim is bright
You packed your bags and walked away, into the fading of your light.
No more your twisted rules, no more you’re judging with a frown
Just me, my crew, and the open road, painting this whole damn town.
(Verse 2)
Remember your opinions on my creative mind and everything I'd make?
Demanding praise for your efforts though, for goodness gracious sake.
But I was there through the haze, the needing and the strain
Drained my own reserves dry, standing by you while you were spiraling down the drain.
(Pre-Chorus)
You wanted constant cheering, for the basic things a man should do
Wouldn't let me try things my own way, everything had to be filtered through you.
"Gotta do it right first time” you would tell me while causing me so much fear.
Guess that memo skipped your mind when you fucked it up by holding me so near.
(Chorus)
Just wanted to let you know, the girl you used to dim is now so bright
You packed your bags and walked away, into the fading of your light.
No more of your twisted rules, and no more your judging frown
Just me, my crew, and open road, painting this whole damn town!
(Bridge)
That tension you thrived on that caused the fear that held me down?
It vanished with your taillights fading out of my small town.
You never saw my talent,& my skills you wanted me to hide, well I finally found a future without you in it and my vision turns out is my guide.
(Chorus)
Just wanted to let you know, the girl you used to dim is bright
You packed your bags and walked away, into your fading of your light.
No more your twisted rules, no more your judging frown
Just me, my crew, and open road, painting this whole damn town.
(Outro)
So, thank you for your absence, I’ve never felt so free!
'Cause the woman thriving now? Yeah well that’s all just thanks to me.
You dictated everything I knew, denied me the confidence to believe in my own true skill
Now those very skills you buried, are paying every single bill !
As for you, you’re probably off looking for someone new , just Off to the next thrill.
Just try to remember this time someone else’s joy is not there just for you to steal ,do their mental health a favor and for once in your life try and keep it fucking real.(yeah right what’s that)
Alright, is this absolutely the final version of your song? I hope you feel it's exactly right!
