Intro (4–6 bars – airy, reflective)
(soft falsetto / whispered)
Yeah…
I thought you felt the same
But I guess I was wrong
I stayed too long, gave too much
Now I gotta let go
Hook (8 bars – melodic, airy)
I thought I had a chance, maybe I was wrong
You just saw a friend all along
I stayed hoping you’d change your mind
But this love only hurts one side
You say you care, I know it’s true
Just not the way I care for you
I don’t hate you, I understand
I just can’t stay where I don’t stand
Verse (12 bars – melodic rap / sing-rap)
I held space, you felt safe
I read meaning where there wasn’t faith
Every laugh felt personal
Guess my heart made it fictional
You’re comfortable, I wanted more
I gave my all, you kept the door
I can’t be your maybe or in-between
Gotta walk away, chase my own dreams
I want you happy, I really do
That part of me is honest too
But I can’t heal staying this close
So I’m letting go of what I hoped
Outro (4 bars – soft hum / falsetto)
Some love don’t end in anger
Just distance, and space to wander
I’ll remember you, I’ll remember us
But I can’t stay where it’s unjust
