The last time I say you name

Your coffee cup’s still on my side

Lipstick fading on the white

Sun coming through the window slow

Like it’s got nowhere else to go

Your jacket’s hanging on the chair

Like you might walk back in from somewhere

But the silence don’t lie to me

This room’s got more ghosts than memories

Pre-Chorus

We said forever like we meant it

Now forever’s just a word we can’t fit in

Between the boxes and the blame

And all the things we didn’t say

So this is me letting you go

Not with a fight, not with a show

Just a heart that’s breaking slow

In ways nobody else will know

I won’t beg you to stay the same

I won’t chase what we became

I’ll love you once, then love you from afar

Tonight’s the last time I say your name

I trace the outline on your side

Of the bed where you used to lie

Funny how the space can grow

Between two people lying close

We weren’t fire, we were smoke

Filling lungs till we both choked

Trying to breathe, trying to save

Something that was already fading

We held on long past the leaving

Turned “I love you” into “I’m still breathing”

Now every word just sounds the same

Echoes in an empty frame

So this is me letting you go

Not with a fight, not with a show

Just a heart that’s breaking slow

In ways nobody else will know

I won’t beg you to stay the same

I won’t chase what we became

I’ll love you once, then love you from afar

Tonight’s the last time I say your name

Someday I won’t look for your face

In every crowd, in every place

Someday your voice won’t pull me back

From moving on from what we had

But tonight the hurt’s still new

Every road still leads to you

So I’ll stand here in the rain

And let goodbye fall with the pain

This is me letting you go

Hands unclenched, heart open though

Even if it breaks me so

It’s the kind of love that lets you go

So this is me letting you go

Not with a fight, not with a show

Just a heart that’s breaking slow

In ways nobody else will know

I won’t beg you to stay the same

I won’t chase what we became

I’ll love you once, then love you from afar

Tonight’s the last time I say your name

Your coffee cup’s still by the sink

But I won’t wash it… I just think

Some goodbyes don’t shout or blame

They whisper… and don’t come back again
