What’s Mine

[Verse 1]
The room feels wider now
When there’s no one left to prove
No fires to chase
No damage left to move
I used to fill the noise
With saving someone else
Now silence sits beside me
Like I finally chose myself

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Growth doesn’t shout
It doesn’t plead to stay
It just leaves space
Where love once lay

[Chorus 1]
This is the quiet after knowing
The stillness after truth
I gave too much, too long
Now I keep what’s mine
I won’t give it back
Not this time

[Verse 2]
No late-night second guesses
No patterns pulling tight
Just the trace of choices
That finally feel right
I miss the shape of someone
But not the way it hurt
I don’t reach for what I know
Would only make it worse
She’s gone, and I can breathe

[Pre-Chorus 2]
There’s peace inside the ache
A strength in letting go
Not every empty space
Means something’s wrong

[Chorus 2]
This is the quiet after knowing
The stillness after truth
I gave too much, too long
Now I hold what’s mine
I won’t give it back
Not this time

[Verse 3]
I don’t confuse this calm with numb
Or distance with regret
I just stopped needing company
To tell me who I am

[Chorus 3]
This is the quiet after knowing
The weight that growth can bring
I didn’t run from loving
I walked toward what’s real
It’s lonely here, but it’s clear
And I finally breathe
I won’t let the past pull me
Not this time

[Bridge]
[Guitar Solo – slow build, emotional, restrained, melodic]

[Chorus 4 – Outro]
This is the quiet after knowing
Not broken, not aloof
I didn’t surrender to loving
I just stood inside the truth
It’s lonely here, but it’s clear
And I’m stronger than I used to be
I won’t give it back
Not this time
