[Verse 1]
I sat alone at the edge of the crowd
They laughed too loud, and I laughed along somehow
Called me “bestie” just to drag me down
And I still wore that title like a crown
Told me secrets then turned them into jokes
Said I was “too much” every time I spoke
Still, I’d wait for their texts like gold
Guess love feels warm even when it’s cold
[Pre-Chorus]
I let them shape me, bend me just to fit
They’d break me, then ask why I quit
[Chorus]
So I’m leaving — new school, clean slate
But I still carry all the weight
Of loving people who made me hate
The mirror, the halls, my own name
They used me like a mirror — just for shame
I loved the ones who hurt me most
And now I’m nothing but their ghost
[Verse 2]
Wrote “I’m fine” on the back of my hand
Cried in silence so they’d still understand
That I’d take anything just to belong
Even if I knew it was wrong
Gave them chances they never earned
Got no love back, just lessons learned
I begged to stay in places I outgrew
That’s what pain will trick you into
[Pre-Chorus]
They watched me break and called it “drama”
But I was bleeding through my armor
[Chorus]
So I’m leaving — same shoes, new floor
Still haunted by their slamming doors
I loved them while they kept the score
And lost myself trying to win their war
They used me like a mirror — cracked and clear
Reflected all their hate and fear
[Bridge]
And if they notice that I’m gone
They’ll probably joke and just move on
But I’ll be better far away
Even if the hurt decides to stay
[Final Chorus]
Yeah, I’m leaving — but not all of me
They still hold parts I didn’t mean to leave
I loved the ones who made me bleed
Still wonder what was wrong with me
They used me like a mirror — sharp and slow
But I’m not theirs anymore — I’m letting go
