Nightwalker70 - Stronger When You're Gone

Written and performed by Nightwalker70 & AI.

Lyrics:

I taste your smoke in the morning
Like trouble I can’t outrun
You hold me close like a promise
Then leave me bleeding and numb

Your love don’t feel like shelter
It feels like a loaded door
Every time I step inside you
I’m less than I was before

I’ve been quiet way too long
Trying not to shake the ground
But something wild is waking
And I can’t hold it down

I’m done burning in your fire
I’m done losing just to stay
You don’t get to own my heartbeat
You don’t get me anyway

I was strong before your thunder
I’ll be stronger when you’re gone
I’m not breaking — I’m becoming
And I’m moving on

You call it love when you’re lonely
You call it fate when you’re weak
But every time you pull me under
You don’t hear me scream

I’ve worn your silence like a bruise
Like it was my own damn fault
But I don’t bleed for your comfort
I don’t crawl anymore

All the nights I bit my tongue
All the truths I let you bend
I don’t need your kind of forever
I just need this to end

I’m done burning in your fire
I’m done losing just to stay
You don’t get to own my heartbeat
You don’t get me anyway

I was strong before your thunder
I’ll be stronger when you’re gone
I’m not breaking — I’m becoming
And I’m moving on

If loving you means dying slow
Then listen close — this is my no
I found my voice in the wreckage
I found my power letting go

I’m done burning in your fire
No more shadows on my name
You don’t get to call this love
You don’t get to call me changed

I was strong before your thunder
I’ll be stronger when you’re gone
I’m not breaking — I’m becoming
And I’m moving on

I’m still standing…
Yeah — I’m gone.
