Lyrics

I see your eyes, I read your lies,
You pull me close to change my mind.
But every night turns into fights,
And I’m not sure my heart can try.

Verse 1

I close my eyes, turn off the lights,
And try to remember when I shined.
At twenty-five, so sure you were mine,
But now I ache for brighter times.

Chorus

Cause trust fades and love slips away,
When hearts break, there’s nothing to say.
I’ll find my light, I’ll walk my own way,
Leave the shadows where we used to stay.

Verse 2

You made me blind, but now I see,
That love’s not chains—it sets you free.
It doesn’t boast, it doesn’t hide,
True love won’t break your soul inside.

Bridge

(Soft strings build intensity, adding dramatic pauses)
Running away to find my peace,
Breaking the cycle, I’m finally released.
You were the storm, I’ve found the calm,
No longer numb, I’m moving on.

Final Chorus

Cause trust fades and love slips away,
When hearts break, there’s nothing to say.
I’ll find my light, I’ll walk my own way,
Leave the shadows where we used to stay.

Outro

(Solo piano fades out)
I’m running, not just to escape,
But to create the life I’ve yet to make.
