Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] We weren’t fighting Nothing was breaking The days moved steady The nights stayed quiet You asked if I was good I said yeah without thinking There wasn’t anything wrong That I could point to [Pre-Chorus] I kept waiting For something clear Something loud enough To make the choice for me [Chorus] There was nothing bad enough To make me leave Nothing sharp enough To set me free So I stayed inside the normal Called it peace There was nothing bad enough But I wasn’t me [Verse] I learned how to want less Without saying it out loud Stopped expecting changes Stopped checking the future Friends asked how things were going I told them steady It sounded responsible It sounded grown [Pre-Chorus] I kept lowering the bar So I wouldn’t have to face What I already knew [Chorus] There was nothing bad enough To make me leave Nothing broken Nothing I could blame So I stayed where it was familiar And incomplete There was nothing bad enough Just nothing changing me [Bridge] Nobody held me here That’s the truth I wasn’t trapped I was comfortable I wasn’t waiting for better I was waiting for worse So I’d have permission To walk away [Build] Everything quiet Everything rising [Gospel Choir] [Final Chorus] There was nothing bad enough To make me leave So I stayed longer Than I believed Now I know the difference Between calm and empty There was nothing bad enough But there wasn’t life in me [Outro] Sometimes you don’t leave Because something ends Sometimes you leave Because nothing ever begins
