Gillian Overholser - Home v.1 Lyrics

I remember the day
I decided to walk away
From you and that handsome face
Your charming ways
So safe

My friends all said, don't be crazy, he's so easy
But they didn't know, you didn't see me
What mattered to you was you
But my heart knew, my heart knew

So I'm walking on my own, now free
No pretending, imperfect in every way
But at least I can breathe, I can breathe

I'd rather fall than fake my life
When I'm safe but my soul's on ice
I'd rather break than live a lie
I'm choosing now to let it go
I'll find my home
I'll find my home

Our life was quiet, but loud in my head at night
I kept wondering why, when I was with you
I lost myself each and every time
My friends all said, don't be crazy, he's so easy
But they didn't know, you didn't see me

No more trying to seem like some girl
Some guy wants or needs me to be

So I'm walking on my own, now free
No pretending, imperfect in every way
But at least I can breathe, I can breathe
I'd rather fall than fake my life
When I'm safe but my soul's on ice
I'd rather break than live the lie

I'm choosing now to let it go
I'll find my home
I'll find my home

I'd rather crack than wear the mask
When I'm safe but forget to ask
What I really need
I'm choosing real
See how real feels

I can breathe now, I can breathe
I'm home now, I'm home
