Lyrics

[Verse 1 soft, intimate]

We built a house out of almosts

Out of “someday” and “maybe we’ll see”

Every promise felt heavy

Like it was leaning on me

I learned how to speak in pauses

How to fight without raising my voice

How to lose every argument

Just to feel like I had a choice

[Pre-Chorus gentle lift]

You called it love

I called it delay

There’s a difference

When you’re the one who pays

[Chorus fragile, melodic, intimate]

I don’t hate you

I just stopped trying to bleed

For a future that never wanted

All of me

If walking away is a kind of courage

Then let this be my release

I don’t hate you

I chose to disappear

I chose peace

[Verse 2 conversational, reflective]

I memorized all your defenses

All the ways you’d turn cold

How silence became your language

When things got honest or bold

I kept watering a ghost garden

Waiting for something to grow

But love shouldn’t feel like holding your breath

Just to fight the undertow

[Pre-Chorus gentle lift]

You said, “this is how I am”

Like that settles the score

But love isn’t surviving

What hurts you more

Chorus (repeat, soft build)

I don’t hate you

I just stopped trying to bleed

For a future that never wanted

All of me

If walking away is a kind of courage

Then let this be my release

I don’t hate you

I chose to disappear

I chose peace

[Bridge spoken / intimate, emotional pause]

I stayed longer than I should

Because leaving felt like defeat

But staying felt like slowly

Teaching my heart how to retreat

This isn’t anger

It’s clarity

This isn’t loss

It’s honesty

[Final Chorus soft, melodic, resolved]

I don’t hate you

I just stopped trying to bleed

For a future that never wanted

All of me

If walking away is a kind of courage

Then let this be my release

I don’t hate you

I chose to disappear

I chose peace

[Outro soft, almost whispered]

Some doors don’t slam

They close quietly

And that’s how I knew

It was time to leave
