Verse 1
I kept your picture in my mind,
Like it was somewhere safe to hide.
Every word we left unsaid,
Still echoes softly in my head.
I tried to hold what slipped away,
Pretending we were still the same.
But love can bend a heart so far,
It doesn’t know just where you are.
Pre-Chorus
And maybe letting go tonight,
Is the only way to make this right.
(Mmmm)
Chorus
So I’m giving my heart a break tonight
Just letting the silence heal all the fights
I loved you more than I showed,
And maybe more that you'll ever know
But some things only hurt to hold
I guess not every love
is meant to hold or stay
I leave the memories,
Deep inside of me..
Post Chorus
Even if this tears me apart
At least im not
breaking my heart
Verse 2
Your voice still lingers in the air
Like a song that’s always there
But time has slowly made me see
Love shouldn’t cost my sanity
I held the pieces far too long
Convincing myself nothing was wrong
But every step away from you
Feels like the truth I never knew
Pre-Chorus
And maybe walking out the door,
Is loving you just a little more
Chorus
So I’m giving my heart a break tonight
Just letting the silence heal all the fights
I loved you more than I showed,
And maybe more that you'll ever know
But some things only hurt to hold
I guess not every love
is meant to hold or stay
I leave the memories,
Deep inside of me..
[Bridge very soft / piano only]
If love is meant to set us free
Then maybe freedom’s letting be
Not every story finds its end
only two hearts
learning how to mend
[Final Chorus bigger, emotional]
Chorus
So I’m giving my heart a break tonight
Just letting the silence heal all the fights
I loved you more than I showed,
And maybe more that you'll ever know
But some things only hurt to hold
I guess not every love
is meant to hold or stay
I leave the memories,
Deep inside of me..
Outro
Even if this tears me apart
(Even if it tears me apart)
At least im not
(At least im not)
Im not breaking my heart
