Small Spaces from Kind by Fingle

[Verse 1]
I used to hold your words so close
But they never held me back
Now the cords fray quietly
Because of what we lack
I let you guide my every step
My pride left at the door
No more chasing after warmth
I’m not your servant anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
My spirit won't be caged by fear
No more illusions keep me here

[Chorus]
So I’m turning away to hold myself
Stepping back so I can breathe
No more kneeling just to meet your eyes
No more begging you to see me
I’m finding freedom in small spaces
Trusting only what I feel
Turning away to hold myself
Finally learning how to heal

[Verse 2]
Cooking meals for myself now
I won’t beg for thanks
Your contempt can keep its place
I’m giving up the angst
No more searching for your scraps of love
No more waiting on your call
Because what’s never freely offered
Was never mine at all

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm done believing every lie
I'll have to stand tall as I say goodbye

[Chorus]
I’m turning away to hold myself
Stepping back so I can breathe
No more kneeling just to meet your eyes
No more begging you to see me
I’m finding freedom in small spaces
Trusting only what I feel
Turning away to hold myself
Finally learning how to heal

[Verse 3]
I made the plans, I set the days
Hoping you'd care, at least this time
But your presence flickers like the wind
Leaving me alone again each night
I clutch each confirmation tight
Yearning you'd choose to go
But your interest fades or flares at will
And I'm left with all I know

[Chorus]
I’m turning away to hold myself
Stepping back so I can breathe
No more kneeling just to meet your eyes
No more begging you to see me
I’m finding freedom in small spaces
Trusting only what I feel
Turning away to hold myself
Finally learning how to heal

[Bridge]
And if your mouth can’t speak my name
Without that bitter sting
I’ll let my silence carve a path
Where my own heart learns to sing

[Chorus]
I’m turning away to hold myself
Stepping back so I can breathe
No more kneeling just to meet your eyes
No more begging you to see me
I’m finding freedom in small spaces
Trusting only what I feel
Turning away to hold myself
Finally learning how to heal
