(Verse 1)
I know I don’t love you like I used to,
I can’t depend on you, no matter what I do.
I’ve tried to hold us up, but I’m falling too,
Carrying all the weight while you fade from view.
(Pre-Chorus)
I worry what’ll happen if I step away,
No money, no place, I’m trapped in this fray.
But I’m not responsible for your life,
I can’t keep living in this endless strife.
(Chorus)
I’m leaving for now, just to breathe, just to see,
A life where my kids and I can feel free.
I’m not erasing you, I’m protecting my heart,
We need space to grow, a brand new start.
(Verse 2)
I’m married, but we don’t live the same,
The law keeps you back, it’s not a blame game.
I’ve planned and I’ve thought, I can’t wait too long,
I need safety for us, a place to be strong.
(Pre-Chorus 2)
I feel the guilt, I hear the fear,
But staying here won’t make it clear.
I can love my kids and still protect me,
This is not betrayal, it’s survival, you see.
(Chorus)
I’m leaving for now, just to breathe, just to see,
A life where my kids and I can feel free.
I’m not erasing you, I’m protecting my heart,
We need space to grow, a brand new start.
(Bridge)
I can’t stay invisible, I can’t disappear,
I need my own voice, my peace, my clear.
I’ll carry love for them and still set us free,
I choose life, I choose truth, I choose me.
(Outro)
I know I don’t love you, and that’s the truth,
But I can care for my kids and reclaim my youth.
I’m leaving for now, to find strength, to heal,
To live, to breathe, to finally feel.
