You don’t live inside me now

You spoke in quiet, careful ways,

Like truth was yours to shape,

Every doubt you placed in me

Felt too real to escape.

I tried to hold what you defined,

Became what I was told,

But every step I gave to you

Left me feeling cold.

Pre-Chorus

Still something in me wouldn’t break,

A voice I couldn’t take—

Chorus

I let you go, I feel it now,

All your weight is falling down,

I can hear my heart again

Through the silence you made.

I’m not yours, not anymore,

I won’t live behind that door—

You don’t live inside me now

Verse 2

You kept me small in subtle ways,

Like I was hard to hold,

But all the cracks you pointed out

Were yours, not mine to own.

The air is clearer in my chest,

Like I can finally breathe,

And every piece I thought I lost

Is coming back to me.

Pre-Chorus

Now your voice is fading out,

And I am learning to be loud—

Chorus

I let you go, I feel it now,

All your weight is falling down,

I can hear my heart again

Through the silence you made.

I’m not yours, not anymore,

I won’t live behind that door—

You don’t live inside me now

Bridge (soft → build)

I remember how it felt

To disappear inside your words,

But I was never what you said—

I was something more.

Now the silence feels like truth,

Not a place I have to hide,

And every breath I take is proof

I’m still alive.

You don’t live inside me now

I became what you couldn’t break

Final Chorus (full emotional release)

I let you go, I feel it now,

All your weight is falling down,

I can hear my heart again

Breaking through the silence.

I’m not yours, not anymore,

I won’t drown in you no more—

You don’t live inside me now

You don’t live inside me now

You don’t live inside me now

I became what you couldn’t breal
