The Night I Left

She packed one bag. Left the ring by the sink. Then drove straight into a bass drop. “The Night I Left” is for anyone who was made to doubt their own mind and found the courage to trust it again. Turn it up for the moment she chooses herself. What lyric hits you hardest? #Femalemetal #MetalEDM #SurvivorAnthem [Intro] You said I’d never make it out. Listen to the door. [Verse 1] I learned to hear your footsteps Before they reached the hall, Learned which version of the truth Would keep the peace till dawn. You called me far too fragile When I caught you in a lie, Then held me close and told me I was lucky you were mine. [Pre-Chorus] I spent years making myself small To fit inside your world. Tonight I packed the things I need. I’m taking back the girl. [Chorus] I leave tonight! Let the whole house shake behind me. I leave tonight! Take your hands off who I’m meant to be. You can keep the ring, the walls, the lies— You don’t get the rest of my life. I leave tonight! I leave tonight! [Drop] I LEAVE TONIGHT! Oh-oh-oh, I’m gone! I LEAVE TONIGHT! Oh-oh-oh, move on! [Verse 2] Her name lit up your phone screen. You swore I’d read it wrong. I almost let you talk me down; I’d done that for so long. But I saw how scared I’d grown of you, How quiet I’d become. I called the friend you made me miss. She said, “Come over. Come.” [Pre-Chorus] Your car pulled out. I took my bag. I left my ring beside the sink. My hands were shaking on the wheel, But I could finally think. [Chorus] I leave tonight! Let the whole house shake behind me. I leave tonight! Take your hands off who I’m meant to be. You can keep the ring, the walls, the lies— You don’t get the rest of my life. I leave tonight! I leave tonight! [Breakdown] Call me cruel. Call me lost. Tell your friends I’m to blame. I know what happened in that house. I don’t have to stay! [Bridge] At the red light by the county line, I cried until it turned to green. Then I drove on with the window down And felt the cold air reach my skin. I don’t know who I’ll be next year. I know where I’ll sleep tonight. Somewhere you can’t wake me up To start another fight. [Final Chorus] I leave tonight! Let the whole house shake behind me. I leave tonight! You don’t get to decide for me. You can keep the ring, the walls, the lies— You don’t get the rest of my life. I leave tonight! I leave tonight! [Outro] I LEFT TONIGHT! And the road goes on.
