I'm Leaving

I can't keep waiting by an empty door Counting all the days like I've done before I don't need forever, I don't need a sign from above I just wanted moments, pieces of your life and your love To know what scares you when the lights go down To hear your voice when no one is around To know your children, your dreams, your name But every road I take still ends the same So I'm leaving Before I lose what's left of me I'm leaving Though you're the place I want to be These feelings burn, then fade into the night And I can't keep fighting shadows of a life That never came to be I tried to understand the silence in between All the things you never said, all the things I couldn't reach Every hope became a question I could never solve Every wound became another reason not to call Time keeps moving like a river through my hands And I'm so tired of making broken plans Not a word, not a sign, not a trace of you Just another day pretending I'll get through So I'm leaving Before I lose what's left of me I'm leaving Though you're the place I want to be These feelings burn, then fade into the night And I can't keep fighting shadows of a life That never came to be Do you hurt the way I do? Do you wake up missing me too? Is there anything more that I could have done? Or was I holding on to someone already gone? So I'm leaving Not because I wanted to I'm leaving 'Cause there's nothing left to do Life isn't fair, I know that's true Maybe letting go is loving you And if you ever think of me Just know I stayed as long as I could I'm leaving... But a part of me Will always stay with you
