[Verse 1]
You keep your hands on the glass
Like you can hold my breath
You say it’s love, I say it’s weight
A door that won’t stay open
My chair is turned to the wall
My name still on your tongue
I need a little room to think
A little room to come undone
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve said it soft
I’ve said it clear
I need some space
I need it here
[Chorus]
This is where I want you to leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me alone
This is where I want you to let me breathe
Let me breathe, let me breathe
Instead of smothering me
Instead of smothering me
[Verse 2]
You pack the silence with your noise
Like that could make me stay
I trace the crack in the window frame
And watch the hours drain away
Your shadow at the bathroom door
Your keys in every room
I’m not your fire to keep alive
I’m not your private moon
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve said it soft
I’ve said it clear
I need some space
I need it here
[Chorus]
This is where I want you to leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me alone
This is where I want you to let me breathe
Let me breathe, let me breathe
Instead of smothering me
Instead of smothering me
[Bridge]
If you love me, step back now
Let the floor hold my feet
Let the hurt run through the house
Till the edges feel complete
I’m not gone
I’m just mine
Let me be
For a while
[Final Chorus]
This is where I want you to leave me alone
Leave me alone, leave me alone
This is where I want you to let me breathe
Let me breathe, let me breathe
Instead of smothering me
Instead of smothering me
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
