Stayed far too long
Didn`t think you`d let me go without a fight
All that I endured
Finally had enough
No more living in the shadows thrown by gaslight

All those years misused
Come to an end
Thought for sure I`d see the worst of you this time
Tell you I`m leaving
Holding my breath
Time stops
Muscles tense
Flight or flight
........

Sad to say goodbye
Your eyes cast down
Didn`t even get up out of your chair
Picture empty rooms
Tell me you`ll miss me
No more living in the comfort of a nightmare

All those years abused
Came to an end
Thought for sure you`d do your best to keep me there
This time I`m leaving
Counting my steps
This stops
Here and now
Flight or flight?

Scared to say goodbye
Stayed far too long
Didn`t think you`d let me go without a fight
All that I endured
Finally had enough
No more living in the shadows thrown by gaslight

All those years misused
Come to an end
Thought for sure I`d see the worst of you this time
Tell you I`m leaving
Holding my breath
Time stops
Muscles tense
Flight or flight

Sad to say goodbye
Your eyes cast down
Didn`t even get up out of your chair
Picture empty rooms
Tell me you`ll miss me
No more living in the comfort of a nightmare

All those years abused
Came to an end
Thought for sure you`d do your best to keep me there
This time I`m leaving
Counting my steps
This stops
Here and now
Flight or flight?
