I Won’t Stay

I tried to fill your empty soul

But you took mine

And I’m hard to find



You think that cutting my wings

Will keep me by your side

But this is not the way

For me to stay



Remember when I mourned

Those days

Beating myself up

For not being good enough

For you

But now I come to realize

That I’m healing

And I’ll be true to myself

As long as I’m alive



So, I’ll walk away

And I won’t be afraid

To lose myself again

Now I am awake

Won’t be cut by your blade

Because I won’t stay



I can’t believe

I kept holding on

Without realizing

I’d be better gone



You thought you could get away

With putting everything at stake

No, I won’t be your victim anymore



And now I come to realize

That I’m healing

And I’ll be true to myself

As long as I’m alive



So, I’ll walk away

And I won’t be afraid

To lose myself again

Now I am awake

Won’t be cut by your blade

Because I won’t stay
