【Intro】 Don't be sad, don't cry tonight I've made my choice, and I'll be alright There's nothing left that I need to say I just need to walk away 【Verse 1】 We used to talk until the morning came We knew each other's hearts, we knew each other's names I held you close when you were falling apart You held my hand when I was losing heart But somewhere down the road, something changed The words we shared don't sound the same I listen now, but I don't hear you Not the way I used to, not the way I knew 【Pre-Chorus】 I tried to calm you, tried to understand Tried to hold together what was slipping from our hands But every little thing became too much And even love began to feel like a weight to carry 【Chorus】 So don't be sad when I walk away I won't be here when you wake up today We gave each other everything we could But staying together no longer feels good Your voice became something I couldn't hear And mine won't reach you anymore from here If you turn around and I'm not there Don't be afraid, I'll be somewhere out there 【Verse 2】 I spent so many nights asking myself What did I do wrong? Was it somebody else? Was there a moment I should have seen? Was there a better way for you and me? I went through every memory we had The good, the bad, the happy, the sad And every answer brought me back To the same conclusion I couldn't take back Maybe being together was the wrong thing Maybe we held on far too long Maybe love was never meant to save us Maybe letting go is how we move on 【Pre-Chorus】 I tried to calm you, tried to understand Tried to hold together what was slipping from our hands But every little thing became too much And even love began to feel like a weight to carry 【Chorus】 So don't be sad when I walk away I won't be here when you wake up today We gave each other everything we could But staying together no longer feels good Your voice became something I couldn't hear And mine won't reach you anymore from here If you turn around and I'm not there Don't be afraid, I'll be somewhere out there 【Verse 3】 I know you wanted me to stay beside you I know you needed someone to hold you But I can't be the one who saves you now And you can't be the place I keep hiding out Your tears became a weight I couldn't carry Your worries became a road I couldn't walk I kept saying, "I'll be here, don't worry" But somewhere inside, I had already stopped 【Pre-Chorus】 I tried to calm you, tried to understand Tried to hold together what was slipping from our hands But every little thing became too much And even love began to feel like a weight to carry 【Chorus】 So don't be sad when I walk away I won't be here when you wake up today We gave each other everything we could But staying together no longer feels good Your voice became something I couldn't hear And mine won't reach you anymore from here If you turn around and I'm not there Don't be afraid, I'll be somewhere out there 【Bridge】 I don't blame you, don't blame me Sometimes love just isn't enough to make us free I don't need another reason why I've thought it through, and this is goodbye 【Chorus】 So don't be sad when I walk away I won't be here when you wake up today We gave each other everything we could But staying together no longer feels good Your voice became something I couldn't hear And mine won't reach you anymore from here If you turn around and I'm not there Don't be afraid, I'll be somewhere out there 【Chorus - Final】 So don't be sad when I walk away I won't be here when you wake up today We gave each other everything we could But staying together no longer feels good Your voice became something I couldn't hear And mine won't reach you anymore from here If you turn around and I'm not there Don't be afraid, I'll be somewhere out there 【Outro】 Don't look for me when the morning comes Don't wait for words that won't come If you turn around, I'll be gone And maybe that's where we both move on dramatic
