Watch Me Walk Away

Intro

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

I used to wait by the phone in the quiet

Holding my breath for a word you'd never give

I carved my whole world around your shadow

Praying that love would teach me how to live

I wore your silence like a heavy coat

Forgetting my own name inside your game

Every apology came as a sentence

And every sweet promise was just a chain

Pre-Chorus

But the storm is done now

I can hear my heartbeat clear

Rising like a signal

And there's nothing left to fear

Chorus

Watch me walk away

I don't need you to hold me anymore

The night is mine

I'm the one who opened up the door

So watch me walk away

Burning brighter than a thousand stars

I found the fire

Nobody dims it from afar

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Rising up

Rising up

Verse 2

I stopped asking questions to the mirror

The answers live inside my open hands

I was a door you left swinging in the weather

Now I'm a fortress built on solid sand

The empty rooms don't echo like they used to

The silence sounds like freedom now to me

I'm not returning to the wreckage

I've got horizons I was born to see

Pre-Chorus

And the storm is done now

I have left the rain behind

I'm a perfect stranger

To the way I used to shine

Chorus

Watch me walk away

I don't need you to hold me anymore

The night is mine

I'm the one who opened up the door

So watch me walk away

Burning brighter than a thousand stars

I found the fire

Nobody dims it from afar

Bridge

I gave you all the keys to every chamber

And you left dust where castles used to stand

But I rebuilt me brick by broken brick

Stronger than the love you never planned

I'm not broken

I was only learning

What it feels like to become my own

Final Chorus

Watch me walk away

I don't need you to hold me anymore

The night is mine

I'm the one who opened up the door

So watch me walk away

Burning brighter than a thousand stars

I found the fire

Nobody dims it from afar

Outro

Watch me walk away

Oh-oh-oh

Rising up

Rising up

Oh-oh-oh
