(Verse 1) Sunlight coming through the blinds, You still look beautiful in a lie. Coffee’s getting cold between us, Just like every “one more try.” We keep painting over cracks, calling it a start, But every touch leaves fingerprints across my heart. (Pre-Chorus) I’m getting tired of chasing shadows, Holding onto almosts every night. You say forever like it’s easy, Then disappear without goodbye. (Chorus) So I gotta go, Before I lose the best parts of my soul. I can’t keep waiting on your timing While you leave me in the cold. If you really loved me, you’d let it show— So I gotta go. (Verse 2) You always knew the words I’d need Just enough to make me stay, Kissed away the conversation, Then found another game to play. Funny how I felt the loneliest Whenever we were all alone. (Chorus) So I gotta go, Before I forget what I deserve. You keep asking for tomorrow, But never give me your today. Blame the distance if you want to, But I gotta go. (Bridge) Maybe one day you’ll look behind you And realize what you chose to lose. Maybe I’ll remember your name Without hearing it in every song. Maybe loving you was real… It just lasted too long. (Final Chorus) So I gotta go, No more circles, no more déjà vu. I gave you every version of me, You never knew which one to choose. I’m walking out with empty hands, But somehow they feel lighter now. (Outro) ’Cause if staying means I stop being me… Then I gotta go. Yeah, I gotta go. This time, I won’t look back anymore.
