[Intro]
I tried to fix what was breaking me…
But every piece cut deeper…
⸻
[Verse 1]
I carried weight that was never mine,
Built your walls just to watch you climb,
Every word like a loaded gun,
You pulled the trigger, I had to run.
Smiling faces with venom teeth,
Love turned into a silent grief,
I played the part, I paid the cost,
Till I forgot what I even lost.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept bending till I broke in two,
Still tried to make it right for you,
But I’m done bleeding to belong—
Should’ve known it all along.
⸻
[Chorus]
I’m cutting ties, I’m letting go—
Of everything that I don’t owe!
You took your shot, you let me drown,
But I won’t let you drag me down!
I’m holding on to the ones who stayed,
Through every scar that you all made—
Perfection’s screaming under my skin,
But I won’t let it pull me in!
⸻
[Verse 2 – RAP]
Yeah—
Product of a problem I was never meant to solve,
Every comment like a comet, leave a crater when it falls,
Caught up in the current of the code you tried to carve,
Now I’m cutting every corner that you covered with your scars.
Level with the rhetoric, the venom in your etiquette,
Every lesson was a weapon, every second was a deficit,
Bending over backwards, breaking habits just to settle it,
Now I’m severing the narrative—you never had the benefit.
Look—
I don’t need permission, I don’t feed on your division,
I don’t keep another piece of what you preach into my system,
Twist it how you want, paint me out the villain—
I’m building something real while you live in distortion.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept breaking just to feel okay,
Lost myself in the price I paid,
But I found strength in the ones still here—
The ones who never disappeared.
⸻
[Chorus]
I’m cutting ties, I’m letting go—
Of everything that I don’t owe!
You took your shot, you let me drown,
But I won’t let you drag me down!
I’m holding on to the ones who stayed,
Through every scar that you all made—
Perfection’s screaming under my skin,
But I won’t let it pull me in!
⸻
[Bridge – RAP → SCREAM]
No more guilt, no more lies,
No more seeing through your eyes,
I was drowning in the noise you made,
Now I’m cutting every thread you laid.
Every scar you left—I turned it to proof,
Every doubt you fed—I’m cutting it loose—
I CUT YOU OUT—I TAKE BACK MY LIFE!
⸻
[Breakdown]
Cut it out—cut it clean!
You were never what you seemed!
Let it burn—let it die!
I won’t take another lie!
⸻
[Final Chorus]
I’m cutting ties, I’m letting go—
Of everything that I don’t owe!
You took your shot, you let me drown,
But I won’t let you drag me down!
I’m holding on to the ones who stayed,
Through every scar that you all made—
Perfection’s bleeding out of my skin…
Now I choose who I let in!
⸻
[Outro]
I let you go…
And I found myself again.
