Sometimes loving means walking away

It started as friends at a party that night
Both taken, but something felt right
I walked upstairs, took your shoes off your feet
Laughing like chaos, but our eyes when they’d meet

From that very moment I knew deep inside
There was something in you I couldn’t deny
Your eyes were a memory burned into me
Even back then, it felt like meant to be

Verse 2
Two years went by and we both were alone
This was our chance to see what had grown
First date magic, you held my hand
Said “everything’s gonna be okay,” like you had a plan

We rushed it fast, maybe that was the flaw
Turned love into fire without any pause
Partying started as innocent fun
But addiction crept in and the fighting begun

Pre-Chorus
Names were called and punches were thrown
Breaking up felt like coming home
We said we were done a thousand times
But something kept pulling our hearts back in line

Chorus
Four years later, against all odds
They couldn’t believe we’d come this far
We proved them wrong, we built our dream
Married with Kruz, like a movie scene

Fairytale moments, rings on our hands
But love kept slipping like grains of sand
After every fight, every “I forgive”
You broke my heart just a little bit

And now I’m here writing this truth
Still wondering why I gave so much to you

Verse 3
You used my empathy like it was weak
Threw it away when you didn’t need me
Then patched my heart when you felt alone
Like I was a place you could call home

I’d stare in your eyes hoping one day
The man I first met would find his way
I never knew why I deserved this pain
Loving you felt like standing in rain

Bridge
Glasses were broken, names were called
Kruzy crying on the floor in the hall
How can I save what keeps getting destroyed
When our home feels like a battlefield void?

I love you Bryce, but I don’t feel safe
And love shouldn’t feel this way

Final Chorus
We had the dream, we had the start
But chaos kept tearing us apart
I wanted forever, I wanted okay
But sometimes loving means walking away

I love you Bryce, that will stay
But I have to leave to feel safe one day
