Lyrics

I've been standing at the edge of something ending
Feet planted in a life that isn't mine
Not breaking down, just finally letting go
Of everything I built to pass the time
I packed light because nothing here was mine
Just borrowed rooms and borrowed time
Spent years building a life that looked like everyone else's dream
And woke up wondering whose hands were on the wheel
I smiled at jobs that drained me dry
Loved people who only loved the version I performed
So I stopped performing
And watched the whole thing fall like it was waiting for permission
They'll say I'm running
Let them
Some things deserve to be left behind
I burned the map and I'm not sorry
Torched every road that led me back to small
I don't know where I'm going
But anywhere is better than standing still
Pretending I'm not dying in the hall
I left the city that knew my name but not my face
Left the friends who only called when they needed weight to carry
I left the lover who made loneliness feel normal
And the mirror that kept showing me a stranger
People say you can't just walk away from everything
I say watch me
I've been standing in one place so long
My shadow started growing roots without me
They'll call me selfish
Good
I was generous to a fault and it almost killed me
I burned the map and I'm not looking back
Every bridge I crossed is glowing red behind me now
I don't know who I'll be tomorrow
But she's gotta be closer to real
Than whoever I was learning how to be for everyone else
What did you leave? Everything
Do you miss it? Some of it
Would you go back?
I'd rather bleed walking forward
Than heal in a place that made me a ghost
I'd rather be lost and breathing
Than found in a life that was already closed
So was any of it real?
All of it. And I'd still leave
I burned the map and I'm finally breathing!
Every chain I wore is lying in the dust!
I don't know where this road ends
But it's mine, it's finally mine
And that's the first thing I've been sure of in months!
I didn't run away from my life
I ran toward one
