Ghosts Don't Follow lyrics

I'm still here But I'm not looking back I carried voices I outgrew Rooms I don't live in anymore They spoke like warnings in the dark But I don't shake for that now I learned the sound of empty fear Learned what was real, what was noise Some memories don't fade with time They fade when you make a choice I don't need to fight what's gone I don't need to prove I'm strong I just step forward And let it fall behind Ghosts don't follow When you stop feeding their names They don't reach you When you walk out of the flame I'm not running I just finally know What stays with me And what I let go I confused scars with loyalty Confused staying with being true Some chains were made of memory Not everything I survived was you I don't erase what shaped my skin I don't pretend it didn't hurt But I don't build my tomorrow From what I already outgrew I don't owe echoes a reply I don't owe fear another night I'm not escaping I'm choosing my side Ghosts don't follow When you stop feeding their names They don't reach you When you walk out of the flame I'm not breaking I'm learning control What stays with me Is what I choose to hold I don't need closure I need motion I don't need answers I need air Ghosts don't follow I checked, they stayed behind I don't outrun them I just stopped letting them decide I'm not empty I'm not alone I'm alive again And I'm moving on They don't walk with me anymore
