[Intro] Yeah… I meant every word, that’s the part that hurts. All the lies talkin’ louder than promises now. [Chorus] You talked promise rings, said forever was us, Necklace with my letter, yeah you branded your love. Said we’d fight through storms, said we’d never give up, Now you stand right here sayin’ feelings feel numb. I ain’t dyin’, I’m just learnin’ to let go, If I walk away, yeah you already know— When I’m gone, I stay gone, no reruns, no shows, I don’t hate you, I just hope you find your glow. [Verse 1] You said, “Promise me you mine,” I put my heart on the line, I saw the future in your eyes, every star had a sign. Met your mama, shook her hand, yeah she smiled at my face, I was ready to be family, ready to take my place. I wanted Sunday dinners, stressin’ out your dad, ’Cause he don’t see your value and that shit makes me mad. Hangin’ with your brother, yeah like blood in my veins, I was buildin’ a kingdom, tryin’ to put you on a throne, not chains. Turn my princess to a queen, give her peace not pain, But love ain’t a cage, I can’t stop your change. Now you distant, you driftin’, I can feel it in the tone, You’re still here in the room but your heart already gone. [Chorus] You talked promise rings, said forever was us, Necklace with my letter, yeah you branded your love. Said we’d fight through storms, said we’d never give up, Now you stand right here sayin’ feelings feel numb. I ain’t dyin’, I’m just learnin’ to let go, If I walk away, yeah you already know— When I’m gone, I stay gone, no reruns, no shows, I don’t hate you, I just hope you find your glow. [Verse 2 – Fast Rap] I been breakin’ while smilin’, hidin’ pain in the jokes, Heart heavy but I still let the beat stay afloat. You said ride or die, now you drift with the tide, I been drownin’ in silence while you searchin’ inside. Gave you loyalty, honesty, patience on patience, You replacin’ devotion with temporary sensations. I ain’t bitter, I’m bruised, there’s a difference I swear, I just hate how you promised when you wasn’t prepared. Every “we’ll be okay” echo loud in my brain, Now I’m talkin’ to ghosts while you call it a phase. If you love someone else, I won’t block your way, I’ll just vanish like smoke, let the memories stay. [Bridge – Melodic] Sorry for the anger, sorry for the tone, Pain talk loud when you feel alone. I don’t hate you, no I never did, I just loved you deeper than I should’ve been. [Verse 3] I wanted holidays, pictures on the wall, You in white, me nervous tryna not to fall. Now I’m packin’ up dreams I was ready to live, Learnin’ sometimes love ain’t meant to give. If I step aside, let you love someone new, Maybe one day you’ll see what I tried to do. I won’t beg, won’t chase, won’t fight for a lie, I’ll wish you happiness while I learn how to fly. [Final Chorus] You talked promise rings, said forever was us, Necklace with my letter, yeah you branded your love. Said we’d fight through storms, said we’d never give up, Now you stand right here sayin’ feelings feel numb. I ain’t dyin’, I’m just learnin’ to let go, If I walk away, yeah you already know— When I’m gone, I stay gone, that’s the code I chose, You my princess forever… I just hope you know. [Outro] Love ain’t hate, it’s lettin’ go clean. I meant forever… even if forever ain’t me.
