intro] [soft fingerpicked guitar, faint background wind chimes] [verse 1] I used to wait for you to see me Like some lighthouse in a dream But the fog just kept on thickening 'Til I forgot what I believed [verse 2] I stitched up every silence With old thread and borrowed light But your heart was on a detour And mine was losing sight [chorus] So I’m not angry, I’m not pleading Not rewriting what's been said Just leaving with the kindness That I carried in my head No final fight, no sudden wreckage No need to slam the door Just a quiet exit From what we were before [verse 3] You said love takes many shapes I traced them all in vain But no geometry could hold me When the angles all turned pain [bridge] I won’t call this failure And I won’t call it home Some things don’t break loudly They just turn into stone [chorus] So I’m not bitter, I’m not aching Not pretending anymore Just walking through the echo Of a vow I can’t restore No final plea, no backward promise No dream worth lying for Just a quiet exit From what we were before [outro] And maybe I’ll be softer now Or maybe just more clear Either way, I’m leaving Still loving you from here [end]
