[verse] I spent too many nights trying to fix what we broke, Holding back my feelings, laughing at your bad jokes Every conversation turned into a fight, Somehow we both always gotta be right. I gave you every version of the man I could be, But somewhere in the process, I stopped being me. This ain’t about somebody else, Or chasing something new… I’m just tired of losing myself, Trying to hold on to you. [pre-chorus] I’d rather miss you than keep breaking your heart, Sometimes letting go is the hardest part. [chorus] I prayed it’d get better, I waited for a sign, But love can’t survive if it only survives on time. I still want the best for everything you do, I just don’t think that future still includes me and you [verse] I know you’ll probably hate the words I’m about to say, But living with regrets just pushes love away. We built a house together, just to stare at the walls And pretending we’re okay won’t save us after all. You deserve somebody who can love without the doubt, Not someone standing halfway with one foot walking out. So if you remember me, don’t remember all the pain, Remember that I loved you… I just couldn’t stay the same. [Bridge] Maybe we were lessons, maybe we were meant to grow, Maybe some things we love are things we have to let go. [final chorus] I prayed it’d get better, I waited for a sign, But love can’t survive if it only survives on time. I still want the best for everything you do, I just don’t think that future still includes me and you And I’ll always be grateful for the time we had, For every high, every low, every good and bad. But love shouldn’t feel like we’re fighting to breathe, Sometimes the bravest thing is choosing to leave.
