It's Over

Sixteen years, I was holding up the walls, Taking every hit while I answered every call. Good husband, good heart, kept my hands clean, But you turned my whole home to a warzone scene. Lies in the daylight, deceit in the dark, You smiled for the crowd while you poisoned my heart. Selfish little games with a holy disguise, Always had a new mask, always had new lies. I carried the weight that you never would touch, Gave you my patience, gave you too much. Took every wound and I buried it deep, While you stole my rest and you murdered my sleep. Told me I was crazy, twisted what I said, Then played the poor victim while I bled and bled. You wanted control, not a covenant soul, Now the truth came due and the bell got tolled. It’s over, I’m done, I threw in the towel, Walked out the house just to make it out. No more chains, no more games, no more war, I ain’t dying in a place I was made for more. It’s over, hear that door slam shut, I gave all I had, then I had enough. You can keep the lies, I’ll keep my peace, It’s over now, and I’m finally free. I was built like a watchtower, standing in the rain, Guarding what I loved while you fed me pain. You called it love, but it looked like theft, Piece by piece till there wasn’t much left. You took my kindness, called it weak, Used my silence so you could speak. Had me praying for peace in a burning room, While you kept striking matches and calling it truth. Sixteen years of the same old spin, Same fake tears, same hidden sin. Same blame-shift when the facts came out, Same cold look when I started to doubt. But I’m not your hostage, I’m not your shield, I’m not staying quiet so your image gets healed. I left that house with my soul still alive, And that ain’t failure, that’s how men survive. It’s over, I’m done, I threw in the towel, Walked out the house just to make it out. No more chains, no more games, no more war, I ain’t dying in a place I was made for more. It’s over, hear that door slam shut, I gave all I had, then I had enough. You can keep the lies, I’ll keep my peace, It’s over now, and I’m finally free. This ain’t revenge, this is resurrection, A man waking up from years of deception. This ain’t hatred, this is breath in my chest, This is choosing life when death looked dressed Like loyalty, duty, vows, and shame, But love don’t require me to die in the flames. I packed up the truth, left the chaos behind, Took back my heart, took back my mind. God saw the nights that nobody knew, So I walked through the door He opened me to. It’s over, I’m done, I threw in the towel, Walked out the house just to make it out. No more chains, no more games, no more war, I ain’t dying in a place I was made for more. It’s over, hear that door slam shut, I gave all I had, then I had enough. You can keep the lies, I’ll keep my peace, It’s over now, and I’m finally free. Yeah, it’s over. Sixteen years buried, but I’m still breathing. It’s over.
