Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I held your hand

When the world dragged you under

Sat on that floor

Counted cracks in the ceiling

You said my name

Like it was some kind of lifeline

I stayed

I stayed

Even when you stopped feeling

[Pre-Chorus]

You were breaking

I was bending

Thought that meant we were the same

You let go

Like we were nothing

I still taste your last birthday cake

[Chorus]

This is goodbye to the man I loved

And the man that hurt me most

I stood by you through every storm

You watched me drown along your coast

I hate you for not fighting for us

For letting go when I held on

I hate you

And I still miss you

But I’m learning how to move on

[Verse 2]

You chose the dark

Over flickers on the dashboard

Chased your ghosts

Instead of turning toward me

I packed my life

In a box by your front door

Left your shirt

On the chair where you’d leave me

[Pre-Chorus]

You said “someday”

I said “always”

Funny how those days ran out

You stay silent

I stay shaking

Screaming words you’ll never shout

[Chorus]

This is goodbye to the man I loved

And the man that hurt me most

I stood by you through every storm

You watched me drown along your coast

I hate you for not fighting for us

For letting go when I held on

I hate you

And I still miss you

But I’m learning how to move on

[Bridge]

I wanted you

To choose me

Choose me

You wanted me

To lose me

Lose me

You kept the door

Just barely open

Till I walked out

For once outspoken (hey)

[Chorus]

So goodbye to the man I loved

And the man that hurt me most

I stood by you through every storm

You watched me vanish like a ghost

I hate you for not fighting for us

But that war in you’s already won

I hate you

And I’m done waiting

This is me

Learning to move on

Style

moody alt-pop ballad with intimate female vocals over sparse piano and distant pads; verse starts almost whisperedthen drums and warm bass rise into a catharticshout-along chorus. final chorus strips back to piano and layered harmonies for a rawclosing punch.

Prompt

To the man that hurt me the most. Stayed by your side through your worst times. Having to accept we no longer can be together. Learning to still move on. I hate you for not fighting for us. Goodbye
