Lose Myself for Good

Verse 1

There’s a shadow in the mirror where I used to stand

A quiet kind of breaking I don’t understand

Every word you say pulls me further out of place

Like I’m fading in the silence of your space

Pre-Chorus

I tried to hold the line, I tried to make it right

But something in me’s slipping every night

Chorus

I really gotta go, I really mustn’t stay

Cause if I don’t leave now, I lose myself for good

I’m standing at the edge, I’m one breath away

From falling into something I misunderstood

I really gotta go, I really mustn’t stay

Before there’s nothing left of who I was

If I don’t leave now, I lose myself for good

And I’ve already lost too much

⸻

Verse 2

We built a world on promises that couldn’t last

Now I’m walking through the wreckage of our past

You say “just give it time,” but time won’t make it heal

When every moment makes it less than real

Pre-Chorus

I hear my heartbeat louder than your voice

And finally I know I have a choice

Chorus

I really gotta go, I really mustn’t stay

Cause if I don’t leave now, I lose myself for good

I’m standing at the edge, I’m one breath away

From falling into something I misunderstood

I really gotta go, I really mustn’t stay

Before there’s nothing left of who I was

If I don’t leave now, I lose myself for good

And I’ve already lost too much

⸻

Bridge

Maybe love ain’t meant to feel this way

Like a cage I’m begging to escape

I won’t drown just to prove I care

I won’t disappear to keep you there

⸻

Final Chorus (bigger, more resolve)

I really gotta go, I really mustn’t stay

Cause if I don’t leave now, I lose myself for good

I’m done standing still while I fade away

I’m choosing every piece of me I could

I really gotta go, I really mustn’t stay

Even if it breaks what we became

If I don’t leave now, I lose myself for good

And I won’t forget my name
