Hold Your Place

No need to apologize, I’ve heard it all before Not waiting on the lies, to become something more.

 I'll hold your place, while I help you find the door.

I stopped raising my voice

You stopped listening

Im making space for me

Now I can finally breathe

No war, no scene

Setting you free

No shadows behind me

No blame left to keep

Sometimes loving someone

Means choosing your peace

Chorus

I'll hold your place, don’t reach for me

I’m not angry, I’m just free,

Holding space if you come,

I'll hold your place, but we're still done.

No slammed doors, no enemies

Just space for who we wanna be.

I learned your silence

Like a language in my heart

Every halfass apology

Came too late, you went too far

So I stopped chasing you

And ran to my truth.

I’ll save you a place at the table

A spot in the bed

A drawer in the dresser

A space in my head

You’ll live in my heart

But not on my mind

But you need to know someday

I might love someone else

A new man at the table

Where you once placed yourself

He'll take your spot in the bed,

Not someone who needs space,

But holds ME instead.

And if you show up too late,

You can't deem me wrong.

Im sorry, your loss,

I can only hold that much space,

for so long.
