Left it all (16:9)

Lyrics [Verse 1] I walk alone through the mess No hands when I sink They want the shine on my face Not the weight that I think Smile for the crowd, stay tall Never show what it costs They love me when I am gold They leave when the gloss is off Every word is a test Every step is a climb You ask for more than I have Then you call it “my time” [Pre-Chorus] I gave them days I gave them skin Still not enough To fit their grin I hear the noise I feel the blame Same old room New shape of shame [Chorus] I left it all I left it all I left it all behind I chose my road I chose my bones I chose my own design No more reaching For empty praise No more wearing Their borrowed face I left it all I left it all behind [Verse 2] People you love can cut deep With a look and a name Act like your heart is a debt Act like your soul is a game They keep a ladder in mind You can never arrive One more dream, one more loss One more reason to hide I watched the rooms turn cold When I stopped being useful Funny how kindness can fade When your truth gets musical So I packed up my pride And I sealed up the past If I’m going to break anyway I’d rather break on my path [Pre-Chorus] I gave them days I gave them skin Still not enough To fit their grin I hear the noise I feel the blame Same old room New shape of shame [Chorus] I left it all I left it all I left it all behind I chose my road I chose my bones I chose my own design No more reaching For empty praise No more wearing Their borrowed face I left it all I left it all behind [Bridge] If I go quiet, let me If I go far, don’t call I learned my name in the dark When I had nothing at all Maybe love will hurt less When it’s not forced to perform Maybe peace lives out where I stop feeding the storm [Final Chorus] I left it all I left it all I left it all behind I chose my road I chose my bones I chose my own design No more reaching For empty praise No more wearing Their borrowed face I left it all I left it all behind I left it all I left it all behind
