Verse 1
Every time I show my heart
You tear it clean in two
I kept believing love was patience
But patience ain’t abuse
I bent until I broke for you
Made excuses for your truth
Now I’m standing in this mirror
Finally choosing me over you
Pre-Chorus
Said I wouldn’t cry no more
But these tears still testify
Love shouldn’t feel like survival
I been dying just to try
Chorus
I’m strong enough to leave
(strong enough to leave)
Too weak to forget
(too weak, too weak)
I gave you everything
You gave me regret
So I’m leaving
Yeah I’m leaving
I’m leaving you
Verse 2
I packed your bags with memories
Folded lies and wasted years
Every promise you abandoned
Still echoes in my ears
I loved you past the warning signs
Past my better sense
I called it dedication
But it was self-defense
Pre-Chorus
I stayed hoping you’d change
While I slowly disappeared
Now I’m choosing my own peace
Even if it hurts to breathe
Chorus
I’m strong enough to leave
(strong enough to leave)
Too weak to forget
(too weak, too weak)
I gave you everything
You gave me regret
So I’m leaving
Yeah I’m leaving
I’m leaving you
Bridge (spoken / sung)
Don’t touch me now
Don’t say you finally see
You saw me breaking every night
And still let go of me
If love means losing myself
I don’t want it anymore
Breakdown
I’ll miss the way you held me
Not the way you made me small
I’ll heal the parts you never cared to love at all
Final Chorus (big, gospel-tinged)
I’m strong enough to leave
(strong enough to leave)
Too weak to forget
(too weak, too weak)
I gave you everything
You gave me regret
So I’m leaving
Yeah I’m leaving
I’m leaving you
Outro
And one day I’ll remember you
Without the pain
But tonight I walk away
To save my name
