Verso 1
I didn’t walk away because I hated you, but because in silence I loved you so.
Seeing you happy with someone new, I knew my only choice was to let you go.
I tried to stay as your friend, tried to play it cool,
But each look, each smile, just made me a fool.
Pre-Coro
So I took the only path I could find,
Leaving you far behind, though it tore my mind.
Coro
'Cause each time I see you, the feeling stays the same,
A quiet storm, an endless flame.
And if my heart won’t ever forget,
Then I must go, no looking back, no regrets.
The only way to let you be,
Is to turn away, to set myself free.
Verso 2
There’s no hatred here, just a love unspoken,
A silent ache, a heart half-broken.
You’re happy now, and I want that for you,
Even if it means my heart must bruise.
Pre-Coro
So I’ll take my leave, with this last glance,
A final act in this endless dance.
Coro
'Cause each time I see you, the feeling stays the same,
A quiet storm, an endless flame.
And if my heart won’t ever forget,
Then I must go, no looking back, no regrets.
The only way to let you be,
Is to turn away, to set myself free.
Puente
Maybe someday these feelings will fade,
Or maybe forever in my heart they’ll stay.
But as long as I linger, I’m bound to fall,
So I walk away and say nothing at all.
Coro
'Cause each time I see you, the feeling stays the same,
A quiet storm, an endless flame.
And if my heart won’t ever forget,
Then I must go, no looking back, no regrets.
The only way to let you be,
Is to turn away, to set myself free.
Outro
I’ll cherish the love that could never be,
But letting you go is setting me free.
