Lyrics

I learned your language from the scars on my skin
Every silence sharp and every sorry a sin
You painted me guilty with borrowed blame
Turned my heartbeat into a courtroom of shame
I bent like a question you never would hear
Fed on your doubt just to keep you near
But love shouldn't feel like a war I must win
Or a lock on the door I was trapped within
So I'm leaving the fire that calls itself warm
Leaving the calm that comes after the storm
I choose the truth over beautifully wrong
I choose my breath, I choose moving on
I won't drown in your almost, your half-hearted care
I'm walking out lighter, I'm claiming my air
You called it passion, I call it control
A slow erosion of body and soul
I memorized moves like a map of a mine
One wrong step and I'd lose all my time
I shrank my dreams just to fit in your hands
Became an echo of who I am
Now I see clearly through fractured glass
Some love is a lesson, not meant to last
So I'm leaving the fire that calls itself warm
Leaving the calm that comes after the storm
I choose the truth over beautifully wrong
I choose my breath, I choose moving on
You can keep all the ghosts you dressed up as fate
I'm done negotiating with pain
Ooh, ooh, ooh
