I Walked Away

Verse 1

I was running with a crowd
That talked big but cut me down
Every win I had to earn
They were waiting for me to burn

Said they had my back for life
But their jokes felt like a knife
Every step I tried to take
They were hoping I would break

Pre-Chorus

I held on
I played my part
Till I felt it in my heart

Chorus

So I walked away from the voices
That were dragging me below
Left the doubt
Left the poison
Had to save my soul
I didn’t leave because I’m weak
I left so I could breathe

Verse 2

Every day I bit my tongue
Told myself this made me strong
Called it loyalty and pride
While I watched myself divide

They loved me when I stayed small
When I never stood too tall
Soon as I began to rise
I could see it in their eyes

Pre-Chorus

That’s when
I understood
I was losing more than I could

Chorus

So I walked away from the voices
That were dragging me below
Left the doubt
Left the poison
Had to save my soul
I didn’t leave because I’m weak
I left so I could breathe

[Bridge Drop back, tension builds]

You don’t win by staying still
You don’t heal where you’re torn down
Sometimes strength is knowing when
To turn around

[Final Chorus Bigger, louder]

So I walked away from the voices
Now I hear my own again
Built my fire
From the silence
Now I know who I am
I didn’t leave because I’m weak
I left — and now I breathe
Outro
Still standing
Still moving
Stronger than I’ve ever been
