I lost time just hoping you'd wake up too But the mirror stayed cracked, no matter my hands You held on to your pain I don't know who you used to be But that ghost still sleeps in your sheets You kiss me with yesterday's mouth Same excuse, same empty reach I've been just to match your rhythm You stayed locked behind your grief I'm not built to hold the past You replayed love like a faded track I knocked on doors you'd never open Till I found one that let me back When I saw you stall, I faced the truth The climb was mine, not meant for two You made a home and could've been I broke the walls and let me in So now I can be, now I can breathe Didn't need your hand to find my way Didn't need your years to walk away So now I can be, now I can see The love I gave don't live in vain It builds a life outside your chain So now I can be, now I can be I'm not your echo, not your flame I'm not the one who stayed the same I played calm to keep your peace Held my tongue while you held the sea Kept the lights on in your storms But you never tried to leave the heat You were loyal to your doubt I was loyal to breaking out Even my shadows stopped dancing When you spoke and turned around So now I can be, now I can breathe Didn't need your hand to find my way Didn't need your years to walk away So now I can be, now I can see The love I gave don't live in vain It builds a life outside your chain So now I can be, now I can be I'm not your echo, not your flame I'm not the one who stayed the same You stayed still I outgrew the frame I left the door wide But you never came So now I can be, now I can be
