Suitcase on the Porch

Verse 1 I packed up my ghosts in boxes sealed tight Left the porch light burning but I'm leaving tonight No forwarding address, no goodbye note Just a woman who finally learned how to go Chorus Suitcase on the porch and my hands are shaking But my heart's already gone, there's no more faking I don't know what's waiting down that empty road But I know staying here means dying slow Suitcase on the porch, and I'm finally moving Verse 2 You kept me in a frame on your wall Said I was safer smaller, trapped and small I smiled through the bars you couldn't see Now I'm taking back the key to me Chorus Suitcase on the porch and my hands are shaking But my heart's already gone, there's no more faking I don't know what's waiting down that empty road But I know staying here means dying slow Suitcase on the porch, and I'm finally moving Bridge Maybe I'll be lonely, maybe I'll get lost Maybe all this courage costs what comfort cost But I'd rather stumble forward than kneel Than pretend that this is what it means to feel Outro Suitcase on the porch at the break of day I'm not running from you, I'm running toward me Suitcase on the porch, and I'm finally free
