[Verse 1]
I gave my time like I had too much.
Smiled for two, cried alone as such.
I don’t say much, but I feel too deep —
And loving in silence puts your soul to sleep.
I made trips with no return.
Promised always — let it burn.
But I learned you can’t hold on to people
When they only show up through detours and swerves.
⸻
[Hook]
I leave before I’m left.
I break before I beg.
I run without looking back.
I don’t regret — I reset.
They never saw me right,
Only needed me once I was gone.
I’m the one who walks away…
But I was never really there for long.
⸻
[Verse 2]
I don’t speak on it — I carry it.
They laugh loud, I bury it.
They take and I still give —
I’ve been surviving, not trying to live.
I came in soft, they called me weak.
Now I stay quiet — they quote when I speak.
I faded out so they’d see me clear,
But some people only notice once you disappear.
⸻
[Bridge – whispered]
You knew me in your light,
But I exist in the dark.
You touched me without seeing me —
Now you call it absence.
Nah. That was just the real me.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
It’s not revenge — it’s healing.
It’s not silence — it’s meaning.
I got lost to find myself,
But not in you. Not this time.
I’m the one who leaves.
But you’re the one who’ll stay…
Empty.
⸻
[Outro – soft, broken voice]
They thought I was fragile.
I was just too real to fake it.
