Clearer View

[Intro]
[Verse]
One a.m. on the clock
Watch the city heartbeat stop
Tracing circles on the glass
Watching all the shadows pass
Two years in a blur
Better than we really were
I’m swirling this Merlot
Ready for the final show
[Pre-Chorus]
I poured it all in
Underneath your golden skin
But the math didn't add
Even when it wasn't bad
I’m choosing my breath
Over a slow, quiet death
[Chorus]
I’m walking out the door
Don't need a reason anymore
I kept my peace intact
And I ain't looking back
Half a glass of red
Silencing the things you said
I'm finally free
Just me and my dignity
[Post-Chorus]
Quiet pride in my chest
Giving my heavy heart a rest
No more "maybe" or "if"
I’m over the edge of the cliff
And I’m flying solo now
[Verse]
You were a habit, I guess
A beautiful, expensive mess
I liked the way you taste
But I hate the time I waste
No hard feelings in my cup
I'm just finally growing up
Checking out of the suite
Walking on my own two feet
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you my best
Passed every single little test
But the prize wasn't real
I’m changing how I feel
I’m choosing my soul
Taking back my full control
[Chorus]
I’m walking out the door
Don't need a reason anymore
I kept my peace intact
And I ain't looking back
Half a glass of red
Silencing the things you said
I'm finally free
Just me and my dignity
[Bridge]
The fog is lifting slow
I’m letting all the tension go
It wasn't a total waste
Just a bitter, lingering taste
I love who I’m becoming
No more hiding, no more running
I’m the prize I get to keep
[Chorus]
I’m walking out the door
Don't need a reason anymore
I kept my peace intact
And I ain't looking back
Half a glass of red
Silencing the things you said
I'm finally free
Just me and my dignity
[Outro]
