Loving you is losing me

Chorus

I love you, but I’m fading

Trying to hold us while I’m breaking

How many times can hope survive

When words don’t change the way we fight?

I see the man that you could be

But loving you is losing me

And I don’t know what hurts the most—

Leaving you… or leaving my soul

Verse 1

I learned to speak in softer tones

Walk away before it blows

Pretend I’m sleeping, lock the door

Just to find a little quiet anymore

You say you love me, say you’ll change

Then somehow we end here again

Same apology, different night

Same wound opening every time

Bridge

There’s a road with my name calling

And I’m scared of what it means

If I choose the life I dreamed of

Will you still choose me?

Or did our love only survive

When I made myself smaller inside?
