[Verse 1]
We met in the schoolyard dust
Same jokes, same scars, same trust
You knew my voice by the door
Knew my mind before I spoke much more
Then he came in, calm and kind
Hand on your back, I fell behind
I tried to smile, tried to play it cool
But my heart got loud in the middle of the room
I watched you two build that home
Little by little, bone by bone
I was close enough to almost touch
Too scared to say I wanted too much
You laughed, I broke in two
Still stayed 'cause I stayed for you
Now every step feels like a crime
'Cause I loved you both in the same damn time
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know I crossed a line
I read the signs and missed my own
I gave you all my borrowed time
Now I'm paying what I owe
[Chorus]
Send me away
Send me away
You said my name like a door that slams
Send me away
Send me away
Now I'm just smoke in your open hands
No way back
No way back
You shut that gate and turned the key
Send me away
Send me away
Like I was never close to being free
[Verse 2]
He looked me in the eye and said
"This can't live here, so leave instead"
You didn't fight, you didn't cry
You just went still and let me die
Not in blood, just slow and cold
Like the story we all told
Got torn out clean, page by page
From the softest part of every day
I learned your address, your little laugh
The way you'd reach without looking back
Now those habits cut like glass
'Cause I was always the part that passed
Your kitchen light, your folded shirts
Your quiet rules, your careful words
I was the guest who stayed too long
Then got erased when the love got strong
I hear "move on" like a prayer
But how do I move from air?
How do I bury a room I knew?
How do I stop loving both of you?
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I crossed a line
I read the signs and missed my own
I gave you all my borrowed time
Now I'm paying what I owe
[Chorus]
Send me away
Send me away
You said my name like a door that slams
Send me away
Send me away
Now I'm just smoke in your open hands
No way back
No way back
You shut that gate and turned the key
Send me away
Send me away
Like I was never close to being free
[Bridge]
Maybe I was selfish
Maybe I was brave
Maybe I was just a man
Who loved the wrong way
You don't owe me forever
You don't owe me grace
But damn, that empty space
Still has my face
[Final Chorus]
Send me away
Send me away
You said my name like a door that slams
Send me away
Send me away
Now I'm just smoke in your open hands
No way back
No way back
You shut that gate and turned the key
Send me away
Send me away
Like I was never close to being free
[Outro]
If I disappear
Tell the truth
I loved you hard
I loved you both
