You drew a map for us in fading ink
Promised a future didn't stop to think
That every word you spoke was built on sand
A crumbling kingdom in the palm of my hand
I see the wreckage of the plans we made
A silent movie where the colours fade
Was I just a fool to trust the things you said
Now all these broken visions fill my head
But you don't get to leave me in the quiet
You don't get to start a fire and then deny it
All I ever needed was a little love
Was that really asking for too much
I won't be the footnote on your final page
I'm breaking out of this forgotten cage
This is my voice this is my sound
You can't just leave me on forgotten ground
I search for meaning in your empty gaze
Through this emotional and confusing haze
You talk of fairness but you draw the line
Where your needs are met but you forget about mine
This isn't justice this isn't right
To push me down and then turn off the light
My heart is aching but my will is strong
To fix the damage where it all went wrong
'Cause you don't get to leave me in the quiet
You don't get to start a fire and then deny it
All I ever needed was a little love
Was that really asking for too much
I won't be the footnote on your final page
I'm breaking out of this forgotten cage
This is my voice this is my sound
You can't just leave me on forgotten ground
I'm vulnerable yeah I'm scared it's true
But I'm more afraid of a life without you
But not this version not this hollow fight
I'm reaching for a future that is bright
And my resilience is the hope I hold
A story that is waiting to be told
No you don't get to leave me in the quiet!
You don't get to start a fire and then deny it!
All I ever needed was your honest love!
Was that really asking for too much
I won't be the footnote on your final page
I'm tearing down the bars of this forgotten cage
This is my voice this is my roaring sound
This is my ground!My ground to stand!
This is my ground
My ground to stand
You can hear me now
You can hear me now
