Intro – soft piano
Verse 1 – intimate, close
I try to let you fade away,
But you’re the air I breathe each day.
In every silence, every room,
You linger like a quiet wound.
I push you out, you pull me in,
We call it love, but where’s it been?
I know that loving you’s not right,
It steals my peace, it steals my light —
But wanting you feels just the same
As needing you to ease the pain.
Pre-Chorus – almost whispered
I tell myself I’ll be okay,
But I feel smaller every day.
Chorus
If I stay — I disappear.
If I leave — I face my fear.
You’re the thing I shouldn’t need,
Still you’re everything to me.
So you have to let me go,
Even if it hurts us both.
Set me free,
Before there’s nothing left of me.
Verse 2
I don’t miss you — I miss that girl
Who felt like she could take the world.
You made me think I was enough,
Like broken parts weren’t broken up.
But when you’re gone I fall apart,
A quiet ache inside my heart.
I hate you feel like oxygen,
Like I can’t breathe without you in.
I can’t tell love from losing me,
Or where you end and I don’t see.
Pre-Chorus – whispered
I say I’ll learn to stand alone,
But I don’t know who I’ve become.
Chorus
If I stay — I disappear.
If I leave — I face my fear.
You’re the thing I shouldn’t need,
Still you’re everything to me.
So you have to let me go,
Even if it breaks me slow.
Set me free,
Before there’s nothing left of me.
Bridge – stripped, breaking
I don’t want to say goodbye,
I don’t want another night
Without your arms, without your voice —
But loving you’s not really choice.
It’s drowning deep and calling it sea,
It’s losing you and losing me.
So I’ll take the hurt I know will heal,
Instead of staying where I can’t feel.
Final Chorus – fragile, restrained
If I stay — I disappear.
If I leave — at least it’s clear.
You’re a love that I can’t keep
Without cutting far too deep.
So I’m begging — let me go,
Even if my heart says no.
Set me free,
Before there’s nothing left of me.
Outro – soft repeat
Nothing left of me…
(Before there’s nothing left of me)
Tonenico
