LET IT BE OVER [Verse 1] I’ve put your sweater at the back of a drawer, along with the photos I don’t look at anymore. I’ve cleared the scent of your hair from the room, but certain absences still carry your smell. I’ve learned not to check my phone, not to search for your name in the crowd, to say “I’m fine” without lowering my eyes, even though the night knows I’m still lying. Because there are loves that don’t end in a single day; they fade slowly, leaving ash in our hands. [Pre-Chorus] And listen to me this time: don’t come to pick up the pieces of me. [Chorus] If you hear my voice tomorrow, don’t think I want to come back to you. If I tell you I can’t breathe without you, let it be nothing but fear speaking. Don’t open that door out of nostalgia, don’t call it love if it’s just missing you. Let me break the habit of having you, let me walk through the darkness alone. Don’t take me in your arms when you see me fall apart. Don’t save me this time. Let it be over. [Verse 2] You know every weak spot in my heart, you know which words can make me turn back. We turned memories into promises, and promises into new chances to hurt each other. Every goodbye always had a second act, a “maybe” hidden behind the tears. Every time, we swore we’d changed, but we’d return the same when faced with the same old wounds. We were good at calling it destiny— the thing we couldn't bring ourselves to leave behind. [Pre-Chorus] So, if you hear a knock in the silence, it won’t be me coming back. It will just be a part of me that still doesn’t know how to let go. --- [Chorus] If tomorrow you hear my voice, don't think I want to come back to you. If I tell you I miss you like crazy, don't mistake the pain for eternity. Don't open that door out of pity, don't reignite what we extinguished. Let me learn your name without saying it aloud, let me live without waiting for your footsteps. Don't hold me tight for fear of losing me, because that way, you'll truly lose me. Don't save me this time. Let it be over. [Bridge] I know what will happen if we stay here any longer. A glass on the table, your hand near mine, two pairs of eyes filled with memories searching for a reason to start over. You’ll say: “We can make it.” I’ll say: “This time it will be different.” And for a few hours, we’ll both believe the most beautiful lie. Then the silence will return, the old wounds will return, and we’ll hurt each other again with the same words. Because sometimes the home we miss is the very one we need to leave. --- [Final Chorus] So if I reach out to you tonight, don't answer my heart. Let it weep for everything I didn't have the courage to lose. If tomorrow I say "I miss you," remind me who I was before you. Remind me of all the times I forgot myself just so I wouldn't lose "us." And if I ask you to stay, don't listen to that part of me that is still afraid of the emptiness. Close that door gently, without hate, without revenge, with all the tenderness we have left. Don't save me from the pain. Let me walk through it. Don't save me from the loneliness. Let me find myself again. This time... let it be over. [Outro] If I speak your name again, let it drift away on the wind. If I weep in the night, do not come looking for me. And if one day the memory no longer hurts... do not come back. Let it remain only as a story we lived. A beautiful story. A wrong story. And finally... a story that has ended.
