[Verse 1] I kept making room between us Every time you pulled away Called your distance “being tired” Found a kinder word each day I carried every conversation When you had nothing left to give Kept convincing both our hearts There was still a love to live [Pre-Chorus] But one heart can’t keep pretending It’s enough to make two beat And I’m tired of calling loneliness A rough patch underneath [Chorus] I can’t love for both of us Can’t keep holding all this weight Can’t be the reason we stay together And the reason that we break I can meet you in the middle But I can’t cross every mile I can give you everything I have But I can’t make you want it now Love was never meant to be One heart doing twice as much I still love you more than I can say But I can’t love for both of us [Verse 2] You say you never asked me To carry all we’ve been I say, “You never stopped me” When I kept stepping in You tell me that you care still And I believe you do But caring isn’t closeness And staying isn’t choosing too [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need another promise Made because you see me hurt I need something freely growing Not a feeling forced to work [Chorus] I can’t love for both of us Can’t keep holding all this weight Can’t be the reason we stay together And the reason that we break I can meet you in the middle But I can’t cross every mile I can give you everything I have But I can’t make you want it now Love was never meant to be One heart doing twice as much I still love you more than I can say But I can’t love for both of us [Bridge] Maybe love can still recover Maybe we’ve just lost our way But healing takes two people Choosing one another every day I’m not asking you to save me I’m not threatening to leave I’m just laying down the burden Of believing enough for you and me If there’s something here worth fighting for Then reach before it’s gone Because I can stand beside you But I can’t drag us both along [Breakdown] I’ll leave the door between us open I’ll leave my hand where you can see But I won’t keep calling this together When together rests on me [Final Chorus] I can’t love for both of us And I finally understand Love is more than one heart breaking Just to keep the other whole I can meet you in the middle If you take a step there too I can give you everything I have But the rest belongs to you Maybe love will find its way back Maybe letting go is love I still love you more than I can say But I can’t love for both of us [Outro] You ask, “Does this mean you’re leaving?” I say, “No—I’m letting go Of the part where I keep loving Enough for both of us alone”
