Goodbye D.O.C
Lyrics
Verse 1
You came in soft, like relief
told me, “baby, just breathe”
I wore your touch like a key
to a door I couldn’t leave
I was tired of my own skin
tired of the noise within
so I let you talk me down
and I called that falling in
At first you felt like escape
like a hand around my shame
every cracked-up piece of me
you said, “I can take the pain”
Pre-Chorus
But you had your hooks in deep
while I was half asleep
you fed me lies I’d keep
then pulled me out too deep
Chorus
Goodbye, D.O.C.
You don’t own me
Goodbye, D.O.C.
I’m getting free
You made a ghost of me
Now I can see
Goodbye, D.O.C.
I’m choosing me
Verse 2
Then the walls got breathing wrong
and the nights grew sharp and long
I saw demons in the glass
and I couldn’t tell what’s gone
You had me talking to the dark
like it knew my name by heart
cut me off from every face
left me stranded in the park
Family called, I let it ring
friends kept reaching, I felt sting
you convinced me I was less
told me love was not my thing
Pre-Chorus
And that poison hit my mind
made a cage I couldn’t find
you turned my inside out
then taught me fear as doubt
Chorus
Goodbye, D.O.C.
You don’t own me
Goodbye, D.O.C.
I’m getting free
You made a ghost of me
Now I can see
Goodbye, D.O.C.
I’m choosing me
Verse 3
I believed I was unworthy
like my life was cursed already
like the best thing I could do
was disappear before I’m ready
But I’m done with that old script
done with every sickened trip
done with begging for a hit
just to numb another slit
I’m not leaving to get even
I’m leaving to start living
I’m not asking for your blessing
I’m just done with what you’re giving
Bridge
You were never my cure
just a chain I wore
I can feel the door
I can feel the shore
Say my name again
without the pain
I’m walking out
I’m walking in again
Chorus
Goodbye, D.O.C.
You don’t own me
Goodbye, D.O.C.
I’m getting free
You made a ghost of me
Now I can see
Goodbye, D.O.C.
I’m choosing me
Outro
If I loved you once
that’s not where I’ll stay
I’m taking back my breath
I’m going the recovery way
