[Verse 1] Yeah, you packed your lies in a red duffel bag Left me a note on the dented flag I read it once, then I tore it clean Mouth full of smoke from a broken dream I was blood in the water, you were gone by dawn I learned my name with the lights turned off Now I walk out cold, no chains, no plea You don’t get the last word over me [Pre-Chorus] You wanted a war with a soft goodbye I made a blade out of every tear I cried Now the door swings shut, hear that final sound I’m not your fallout, I’m the ground [Chorus] I just leave and never look back Never look back, never look back If you leave me, you better know that If you leave me, you better never look back Never look back, never look back I’m a match in the dark, then I’m gone in black If you leave me, you better never look back [Verse 2] I saw your grin in the smoke machine glow A pretty little lie in a borrowed coat You played king while the room went numb But crowns still crack when the hard rain comes I kept my heart in a locked up chest You kept your hands where they did the rest Now I spit truth like a live wire hiss You don’t get my peace if you can’t handle this [Verse 3] I was built from the wreck, from the dust, from the bite From the nights I survived when you dimmed out the light You wanted a pawn, I became a storm A soft voice cracked and a hard one formed I don’t chase ghosts, I don’t beg for a seat I don’t fold my spine just to stay at your feet You can keep your regrets, keep your paper-thin pride I’m the road going forward, not the hole where you hide [Pre-Chorus] You wanted a war with a soft goodbye I made a blade out of every tear I cried Now the door swings shut, hear that final sound I’m not your fallout, I’m the ground [Chorus] I just leave and never look back Never look back, never look back If you leave me, you better know that If you leave me, you better never look back Never look back, never look back I’m a match in the dark, then I’m gone in black If you leave me, you better never look back [Instrumental] [Bridge] You taught me how to burn without turning to ash How to cut the rope and still move fast I used to pray for a softer ending Now I pray for my own becoming (Own becoming) So say my name when the echoes crack Then let it fade, I won’t come back~ [Verse 4] (Oh, I) I rise, I rise Through the hurt in my bones and the salt in my eyes Oh, I, (Oh, rise) I rise, I rise And I leave that war where it dies [Final Chorus] I just leave and never look back Never look back, never look back If you leave me, you better know that If you leave me, you better never look back Never look back, never look back I’m a match in the dark, then I’m gone in black If you leave me, you better never look back Never look back, never look back I just leave and never look back
