I'm leaving you behind me

It's about time to set you free

This cloud following my day

will finally lift and float away

Only the good, will I remember

The love once felt becomes dimmer

The smile on my face

is genuine, not out of place

Breathing has become easier

I'm no longer living the life of a people pleaser

The strength you see in my arms

keeps me free of the physical pains

But the brute strength of me

you will not touch, you will never see

I'm taking over my own life

free to deal with any strife

How did you believe you knew me

when you made it so hard to breathe?

So long heartache, so long pain

I'm coming back, no longer tame
