I Look Free

You showed up when the w*r was over Brought flowers to a ghost town You looked at me like I was yours But baby, I left the version you knew underground I don't cry like I used to Now I dress like a warning My silence is velvet And you’re still too loud in the wrong rooms You think I look better now? No, babe — I look free This glow ain’t love, it’s survival You’re staring at who you couldn’t be I don’t miss the past, I wear it Like diamonds no one can afford Heaven had me first And now I don’t pray on the floor anymore I forgave you in gold While you stayed cheap in your comfort I built peace in the places You only came to break something Told your friends I changed No, I just stopped bleeding on people who never learned to heal I walk past now Like I was never yours to steal You think I look better now? No, babe — I look free This glow ain’t love, it’s survival You’re staring at who you couldn’t be I don’t miss the past, I wear it Like diamonds no one can afford Heaven had me first And now I don’t pray on the floor anymore You only learned silence once I stopped talking You only saw God when I walked away Now you call it loss But I call it protection I was never yours I was just passing through your lesson You think I look better now? No, babe — I look untouched You watched me rise and thought it was for you But I don’t rise for anyone that much I don’t miss the past, I wear it Like diamonds no one can afford Heaven had me first And now I don’t kneel to love anymore Heaven had me first I was divine before the fall
