SPOTLIGHT: A&R 2-Sheet

"I'm not the girl you used to know from before."

(Why It's Set Above The Others)

This song captures the visceral tension of living with a volatile partner—the "shallow, short breaths" and "creeping around" create immediate empathy. But it doesn't stay in the victim role. The shift to "taking out trash, busy changing locks" is a practical, powerful image of reclaiming one's life. It strikes a chord because it acknowledges that leaving isn't just an emotional choice; it's a physical transformation of identity.

(Lyrical Description For A&R)

A narrative of survival and evolution. The song opens in a bedroom filled with fear, describing the protagonist playing dead to avoid a fight. As the lyrics progress, the fear turns into a "will to just up and leave." It rejects the role of the "good wife" to a "tyrant," culminating in a firm boundary. The outro warns the ex that any attempt to return will be met with consequences ("you'll get what's up").

LYRICS

Date: January 19, 2026 | Lyricist: Kellie Larson Lyricist and Cinematic Songwriter
IPI: 1322821876 | Songbay ID: -111887
(VERSE 1) Laying still in bed, with shallow, short breaths, while you are creeping around,
Praying you'd think I'm asleep, not making a sound.
So your stored guilt doesn't start a fight and make my soul a battleground.

Okay, I am up, and yes, I heard you. Please, just stop!
Why so cruel? Leave my heart alone, what did I ever do so bad to you?
(VERSE 2) You'd just accuse me of everything, throw lies and deflect,
Blaming me for every damn thing, all your misfortune, and making up events.
Fighting with you is so frustrating.
You play your sick games, pulling me into the fray,
Staying out all night, getting comfort some other way.
Used to cry those tears, but the river don't flow no more 'cause
I'm not the girl you used to know from before.
(CHORUS) You won't break me down, you won't tear me up again.
I'm done with your empty promises and every way you pretend.
You're not good for me, nope, and the truth is plain to see,
So it's time to move on, don't you stop! don't look back! just get gone!
'Cause I don't want you, you're not welcome anymore.
While you're doing nada, kicking rocks, I'm taking out trash, busy changing locks.
(VERSE 3) Shhh, don't you say a word, there's nothing new to say,
Nothing I haven't heard, so just get on your way. Go find another place to stay.

Yeah, I want less talk and more walk, baby, we are through.
Your excuses hit a dead end at my door,
I've memorized every word of this old score.
You don't deserve me, yeah, the truth is clear to see,
So it's time to move on, don't you stop, don't look back, just get gone. You ain't worth a lick,
Yeah, I don't need you anymore.
(BRIDGE) Down the road when the dust has settled, don't bother hitting me up,
That'll be another coffin nail; I don't want your apologies, sorrys will fail.
Your excuses are stale, I'm done with that need to believe,
Now all I can feel is the will to just up and leave.
This ain't a game to me, this is my one life,
And I'm not gonna waste another minute with a tyrant, being the good wife.
(OUTRO) Yeah, I'm moving on, I'm done with you, I'm gone.
Don't you even try to hit me up, 'cause if you do, you'll get what's up.
