Title: “Held You Gently”
[Verse 1]
I been sitting in my feelings too long
Talking to myself like something’s wrong
I tried to love you in the calm
But you only showed up when it wasn’t hard
I gave you peace, I gave you space
You still ran from what was safe
Said you loved me in your way
But your way kept hurting me
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t think you meant to break me
You just didn’t know how to stay
[Chorus]
I held you gently, you let me go
I stayed through things you’ll never know
I made a home inside your arms
You never planned to make it ours
I was ready for the weight of love
You only carried what was light
So I let you leave with no more fights
Even though it broke me inside
[Verse 2]
I learned your silence like a language
Made excuses I shouldn’t have
I called it growth, I called it patience
But I was just scared to ask
I felt you drifting every touch
You felt it too, just said nothing
I kept hoping you’d wake up
And choose me without me asking
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept pouring from an empty place
Hoping love would make you stay
[Chorus]
I held you gently, you let me go
I stayed through things you’ll never know
I made a home inside your arms
You never planned to make it ours
I was ready for the weight of love
You only carried what was light
So I let you leave with no more fights
Even though it broke me inside
[Bridge]
Maybe loving you was my lesson
Maybe leaving is my growth
I don’t regret my intentions
I just regret ignoring my soul
I don’t need closure anymore
I see the truth in what you showed
Some people feel like everything
But they were never meant to hold
[Chorus – Final]
I held you gently, I held you right
You couldn’t meet me in that light
I won’t beg love to choose me twice
I’m learning how to protect my heart
I was enough, I see it now
I just loved someone unsure
So I’m walking away in peace
And choosing me a little more
[Outro]
Yeah…
Still soft, still healing
Just not hurting myself anymore
