today I'm taking the first step
I'm not saying that I'm not scared
who knows what's waiting for me on the other side
is it love is it joy
surely there's a reason for this day
today
I take courage to take my bags packed them all up
you said I'll never make it without you
how will I know if I never try
how will I know my ability my strength if I never go out and test them all
today
I take one step out of your life
one step away from my past
one step away from your lies
I step away from the tragedy we call a relationship
one step to a new life
yes today is that day
that I will break all the chains
of your toxic love
love that taught me that I can't
I cannot make it by myself
today right now I walk away from this love
shall I even call it love
for it is called selfishness
today
don't stop me from leaving you
