NEON GRAVES — “LEAVE WITH THE DOUBT” [Verse 1] You said forever in the kitchen light, By morning, you were sure I heard it right? No—now you said you’d never said it quite. I swallowed what I knew to end the fight. Then lay beside you, wide awake all night, Afraid to trust the things in plain sight. [Pre-Chorus] I kept waiting for the missing piece, Like one more answer might let me sleep. But every time I thought we’d reached the end, The story changed again. [Chorus] I’ll leave with the doubt— I don’t have to figure you out. I know how it feels When I can’t tell what’s real. I can love you and still get out. Let the questions scream and shout. If the truth won’t come around, I’ll leave with the doubt. [Verse 2] I took my jacket off the chair today, You reached for words that used to make me stay. I watched your mouth, afraid of what you’d say, Then caught myself rehearsing, “It’s okay.” I left the keys beside the bills we pay, And let the silence follow me away. [Pre-Chorus] My hand was shaking on the door. I almost asked you once more. But I could hear the answer in my head— Another night of nothing making sense. [Chorus] I’ll leave with the doubt— I don’t have to figure you out. I know how it feels When I can’t tell what’s real. I can love you and still get out. Let the questions scream and shout. If the truth won’t come around, I’ll leave with the doubt. [Bridge — stripped back, building] Maybe there were nights you meant it. Maybe some of it was true. That’s the part that almost breaks me— I don’t know which part was you. I wanted one clean reason. I wanted you to see. But I don’t need your explanation To know what this did to me. [Final Chorus — full band] I’ll leave with the doubt— I don’t have to figure you out. I know how it feels When I can’t tell what’s real. I still love you, but I’m getting out. Let the questions scream and shout. I won’t turn this car around— I’ll leave with the doubt. [Outro — quiet] Your name lights up. I let it ring. I still don’t know. I’m still leaving.
