Sixteen

You taught me how to stand
Gave me the means to walk away and leave

Say, say what you need to say
Because today I'm gonna leave this place
I just can't stay and watch you waste away
I promised myself I'd never let you hold me
Back, back, back again
Your custody battles have come to an end
So take, take, take all this in
You're never gonna see me ever again

I'm packing up, getting out of this hell
You did this to yourself

I'm not holding on, I'm moving on
I'm leaving on my terms
I'm better off on my own
A celebration of separation
I'm celebrating this separation
You're never gonna see me without invitation
I'm better off on my own
A celebration of separation

Just so you know
You fucked up our old home
You broke the pictures you had left and now you're all alone
So if you think that I'll come crawling back
Just know I promised myself
I'd never let you hold me
Back, back, back again
Your custody battles have come to an end
So take, take all this in
You're never gonna see me ever again

I'm not holding on, I'm moving on
I'm leaving on my terms
I'm better off on my own
A celebration of separation
I'm celebrating this separation
You're never gonna see me without invitation
I'm better off on my own
A celebration of separation

You chose this life
That I can't live by your side
How could you hang me out to dry
When I've been dying on the inside?
Say what you need to say
But I just can't stay (just can't stay)

I'm not holding on, I'm moving on
I'm leaving on my terms
I'm better off on my own
A celebration of separation
I'm celebrating this separation
You're never gonna see me without invitation
I'm better off on my own
A celebration of separation
