Say It Out Loud 4

Intro

Say it out loud

Verse 1

I said I'd never leave the door unlocked

Six months later I'm a stranger with a box full of socks

Old friends keep asking what went wrong

I say the whole town was too small for my song

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why it feels like I'm burning down every bridge

Why leaving tastes like freedom, not demise

Am I a coward or an eagle learning to fly?

Chorus

Say it out loud

I'm running from the light that's killing me

Verse 2

Momma kept the old keys on the hook by the mail slot

Every address we ever knew still echoes like a record note

I drove by Tuesday, watched the church spire turn pink and gold

Sent one last message with a picture of my new horizon to hold

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why it feels like I'm burning down every bridge

Why leaving tastes like freedom, not demise

Am I a coward or an eagle learning to fly?

Chorus

Say it out loud

I'm running from the light that's killing me

Bridge

Maybe I'm not scared of dark at all

Maybe this is just my body telling my mind to fall

Every goodbye is a door left open wide

I'm trading one kind of ache for something alive

Chorus

Say it out loud

I'm running from the light that's killing me
