[Verse 1] Another night Another bottle This time it tipped Straight into a fight He’s yelling in circles I’m shrinking inside He’s mad I can’t read The storm in his mind [Pre-Chorus] Tells me “get out” Of the place that I pay for Keys in my hand But my feet never reach the door [Chorus] Why do I stay? Why can’t I let him go? Why do I break Just to build him up again slow? I’m scared of the dark So I sleep beside the flame Only then will I be free When I say I’m done with this pain Only then will I be free When I finally say his name Like it’s over (it’s over) [Verse 2] Makeup on the counter Tears on my sleeve I’m tracing all the red flags I refused to believe My friends say they’re waiting Right down the street But shame feels like chains Wrapped around my feet [Pre-Chorus] His voice in my head Says I’m lucky he chose me But there’s a louder one now Whispering “you can go Please” [Chorus] Why do I stay? Why can’t I let him go? Why do I break Just to build him up again slow? I’m scared of the dark So I sleep beside the flame Only then will I be free When I say I’m done with this pain Only then will I be free When I finally say his name Like it’s over (it’s over) [Bridge] One small bag One last look Every “sorry” Written in his crooked hook My hand shakes On that front door key But shaking is the sound Of a heart that’s breaking free (oh) [Chorus] Why did I stay? Why couldn’t I let you go? But look at me now I’m walking out the door alone I’m facing the dark And I’m stronger than the flame Only now that I am free Do I say I’m done with that pain Only now that I am free Do I finally say your name Like it’s over (it’s over, I’m free) Another bottle another night This time it lead to a fight. He got mad because I’m not a mind reader. Tells me I have to leave my home when I have no where to go. Why do I stay, why can’t I let him go? Only then will i be free
