(Verse 1)
The sun's coming up, a brand new day
I'm looking at you, and I can't stay
You built a wall around my heart, so high
But it's my turn to say goodbye
You called it love, I called it a cage
Told me I'm crazy on every single page
(Chorus)
This is my last song, a final word to you
I'm taking back my life, and what I'm gonna do
Is walk away from the ghost of what we were
'Cause I'd rather be free than a prisoner
Yeah, I'm taking back my life, starting today
Goodbye to the love I'm throwing away
(Verse 2)
Every time I spoke, you said I was wrong
Said I was too needy, didn't belong
You held me at contempt, a beautiful word
For how you made me feel, silenced and unheard
I'd rather be alone than constantly feel small
Standing in your shadow, waiting for a fall
(Chorus)
This is my last song, a final word to you
I'm taking back my life, and what I'm gonna do
Is walk away from the ghost of what we were
'Cause I'd rather be free than a prisoner
Yeah, I'm taking back my life, starting today
Goodbye to the love I'm throwing away
(Bridge)
You thought you broke me, thought I'd come back
But I'm stronger than that, I'm getting on track
I'm healing my heart, mending the pieces you tore
And I'm not gonna be that girl anymore
(Outro)
So goodbye, my love, you can watch me leave
This is the last time you'll see me grieve
I'm taking back my life, and I'm free
This is the last time you'll hold contempt over me.
