I'm Writing Myself Out Of This Song Lyrics

Pen in hand, I'm staring at the page

Words won't come, I'm trapped inside this cage

Of melodies and rhymes that haunt my mind

I'm the protagonist I'm trying to leave behind

I'm writing myself out of this song

Erasing the notes where I don't belong

Crossing out verses, changing the key

Hoping the music will set me free

Every line's a mirror of my pain

I'm desperate to rewrite this refrain

But as I scratch out each word I've penned

I'm still the character that never ends

I'm writing myself out of this song

Erasing the notes where I don't belong

Crossing out verses, changing the key

Hoping the music will set me free

But the more I try to disappear

The louder my voice becomes, crystal clear

I'm the ink that bleeds through every page

The persistent echo of my own cage

So I surrender to the melody

Accept that I'm the song I'll always be

In every chord and every turn of phrase

I'll find the beauty in these songwriting days

I'm writing myself into this song

Embracing the notes where I belong

Composing verses, finding my key

The music has finally set me free

The songwriter and the song are one

This is where I'm meant to be, where I've begun
