Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said we needed distance
Like air in a burning room
I packed up every promise
Left quiet in your perfume
I kept all of your letters
Folded in the same old drawer
I’m grateful for the shelter
But I’m sleeping on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t ask me to pretend this doesn’t hurt
Don’t ask me to defend the way it worked
[Chorus]
Please don’t try to change my mind
I’m thankful for the days you gave me
But I deserve a life
Deserve a life
Where I don’t have to fade to save me
Space took all the fire from us
Left me stranded in the dust
I can’t love you just to barely stay alive
I deserve to survive
[Verse 2]
(Male)
You say you’re doing better
You’re learning to breathe alone
I replay every moment
Like I could rewrite the tone
I thought that giving distance
Would somehow keep you mine
But silence grew like ivy
And wrapped around the line
[Pre-Chorus]
(Female)
Don’t tell me that we almost got it right
(Male)
We lost each other slowly
Out of sight
[Chorus]
Both:
Please don’t try to change my mind
I’m grateful for the love you gave me
But I deserve a life
Deserve a life
Where staying doesn’t break or cage me
Space turned our forever into rust
Cracked the gold beneath the trust
I can’t love you just to barely stay alive
I deserve to survive
[Bridge]
(Female)
You say “hold on”
But you let go first
We called it healing
But it felt like a curse
(Male)
I reach for you
You reach for the past
We stretched our hearts
’til they snapped
[Chorus]
Both:
Please don’t try to change my mind
I’m thankful for the time you gave me
But I deserve a life
Deserve a life
Where loving doesn’t have to erase me
Space defeated everything we were
Left an echo
Just a blur
I can’t love you if it means I lose my life
I deserve to survive
I deserve to survive
