**[Intro — low, distant]** Yeah... You can quit callin’ now. I know how this ends. **[Chorus — melodic, open delivery]** Fuck it, leave me be, you don’t love me, you love needin’ me Only pull me close whenever loneliness starts eatin’ deep Say that I’m your peace, then bring the war into my sheets If this is what you call forever, fuck it, leave me be Fuck it, leave me be, let the silence say what you won’t speak You keep askin’ me to stay, then make me sorry when I breathe I would rather miss you nightly than keep losin’ sleep for weeks You can keep the love you weaponize—just fuckin’ leave me be **[Verse 1 — restrained, gradually intensifying]** You called at two, already knew what you would say “You’re the only one who knows me,” then you threw my trust away You don’t miss me—you miss knowin’ I would always take the blame Every apology you gave me only bought another day I learned your “I love you” really meant, “Don’t let me sit alone” You would turn my phone against me while you hid things in your own Made me prove where I was every time I left to clear my head Then went quiet for a weekend, came back cryin’ in my bed You said I made you act like that, like cruelty needs consent Had me questionin’ my memory each time your story bent I kept lowerin’ my voice so you could scream and call it fair Now the room is finally peaceful ’cause you’re no longer there I don’t hate you—I just hate who I became around your moods Always choosing every sentence like one word could light the fuse You can tell ’em I abandoned you; leave out what made me leave Tell whatever version helps you sleep—just stay away from me **[Pre-Chorus — rising tension]** Don’t promise you’ll be different, you’ve rehearsed that shit before Don’t come knockin’ with the flowers that you left beside my door I don’t need another ending where you beg, then start the cycle This time, when I say it’s over, I’m not waitin’ for your reply, so— **[Chorus — fuller vocal]** Fuck it, leave me be, you don’t love me, you love needin’ me Only pull me close whenever loneliness starts eatin’ deep Say that I’m your peace, then bring the war into my sheets If this is what you call forever, fuck it, leave me be Fuck it, leave me be, let the silence say what you won’t speak You keep askin’ me to stay, then make me sorry when I breathe I would rather miss you nightly than keep losin’ sleep for weeks You can keep the love you weaponize—just fuckin’ leave me be **[Verse 2 — firmer, less pleading]** Now you’re postin’ little messages you know I’m gonna see Every quote about forgiveness feels directed straight at me You made heartbreak into theater, made yourself the wounded lead While the people in the comments never saw you watch me bleed Not a wound across my body—I mean pieces of my life Friends I stopped replying to because you started every fight Plans I canceled at the last second so you wouldn’t lose control All the parts of me I muted just to keep your temper low I still reach across the mattress when I wake up from a dream That don’t mean I want you back; it means my body learned routine Missing someone isn’t evidence that leaving was a flaw Sometimes freedom feels like grief before it feels like yours at all So go find another person you can punish for your past Someone else to call your soulmate while you hold ’em to the glass I won’t answer unknown numbers, I won’t meet you in-between You can hate me if it helps you—but, for once, just let me breathe **[Bridge — drums reduced, almost spoken]** I gave you every softer side, you treated each one like a weakness Then asked why I went numb whenever you demanded sweetness Maybe I still love you; maybe that’s what makes this hurt so deep But loving you has never meant you get to keep destroying me **[Final Chorus — strongest delivery, restrained backing vocal]** Fuck it, leave me be, you don’t love me, you love needin’ me Only pull me close whenever loneliness starts eatin’ deep Say that I’m your peace, then bring the war into my sheets If this is what you call forever, fuck it, leave me be Fuck it, leave me be, I’m done beggin’ you to let me breathe I can miss the way you held me without missin’ what you did to me There is nothin’ left to salvage, there’s no final scene we need Keep the memories, keep your reasons—just fuckin’ leave me be **[Outro — organ only]** You can keep your version of me. I don’t live there anymore. Leave me be.
