You spoke in quiet, careful ways,
Like truth was yours to shape,
Every doubt you placed in me
Felt too real to escape.
I tried to hold what you defined,
Became what I was told,
But every step I gave to you
Left me feeling cold.
Pre-Chorus
Still something in me wouldn’t break,
A voice I couldn’t take—
Chorus
I let you go, I feel it now,
All your weight is falling down,
I can hear my heart again
Through the silence you made.
I’m not yours, not anymore,
I won’t live behind that door—
You don’t live inside me now
Verse 2
You kept me small in subtle ways,
Like I was hard to hold,
But all the cracks you pointed out
Were yours, not mine to own.
The air is clearer in my chest,
Like I can finally breathe,
And every piece I thought I lost
Is coming back to me.
Pre-Chorus
Now your voice is fading out,
And I am learning to be loud—
Chorus
I let you go, I feel it now,
All your weight is falling down,
I can hear my heart again
Through the silence you made.
I’m not yours, not anymore,
I won’t live behind that door—
You don’t live inside me now
Bridge (soft → build)
I remember how it felt
To disappear inside your words,
But I was never what you said—
I was something more.
Now the silence feels like truth,
Not a place I have to hide,
And every breath I take is proof
I’m still alive.
You don’t live inside me now
I became what you couldn’t break
Final Chorus (full emotional release)
I let you go, I feel it now,
All your weight is falling down,
I can hear my heart again
Breaking through the silence.
I’m not yours, not anymore,
I won’t drown in you no more—
You don’t live inside me now
You don’t live inside me now
You don’t live inside me now
I became what you couldn’t breal
Viren
