walk out the door

You chased me down
Said I was a dream
Told me I was everything you'd ever need
With every word
You pulled me in tight
Said I was perfect
You'd never lose sight

You said I lit up every room
Made me feel like flowers in bloom
Your words once warm
Now colder than steel
Trying to shape me into someone unreal

You were the one who wanted me first
Said I was the cure to all of your hurt
But now I'm here
And you're trying to change
The very things that made you call my name

You can't rewrite who I was before
If I'm not enough
Then walk out the door
If you can't love me for who I've been
Then I'll find someone who can love within

You pursued me like I was the prize
But now you want me in a new disguise
I won't bend
I won't break
For a love that feels so fake

If I'm not enough
Then let me go
But don't try to make me someone I don't know
So if you're done with who I really am
Go find the person who fits your plan

Don't waste my time
Don't hold me here
If the real me is something you fear
I won't be shaped by your expectations
Or trapped by your quiet frustrations

I'd rather be alone and true
Than lose myself just to please you
So if I'm not the one you had in mind
Don't chase a version you'll never find

Now I see the truth
Clear as day
I won't stay where love fades away
I'll pack my heart
And walk out the door
I deserve so much more
