(Intro same as chorus)
(I don’t hate you
I just stopped trying to bleed)
Verse 1
We built a house out of almosts
Out of “someday” and “maybe we’ll see”
Every promise felt heavy
Like it was leaning on me
I learned how to speak in pauses
How to fight without raising my voice
How to lose every argument
Just to feel like I had a choice
Pre-Chorus
You called it love
I called it delay
There’s a difference
When you’re the one who pays
Chorus
I don’t hate you
I just stopped trying to bleed
For a future that never wanted
All of me
If walking away is a kind of courage
Then let this be my release
I don’t hate you
I chose to disappear
I chose peace
Verse 2
I memorized all your defenses
All the ways you’d turn cold
How silence became your language
When things got honest or bold
I kept watering a ghost garden
Waiting for something to grow
But love shouldn’t feel like holding breath
Just to fight the undertow
Pre-Chorus
You said, “this is how I am”
Like that settles the score
But love isn’t surviving
What hurts you more
Chorus
I don’t hate you
I just stopped trying to bleed
For a future that never wanted
All of me
If walking away is a kind of courage
Then let this be my release
I don’t hate you
I chose to disappear
I chose peace
I don’t hate you
I just stopped trying to bleed
I don’t hate you
I chose to disappear
I chose peace
Bridge
I stayed longer than I should
Because leaving felt like defeat
But staying felt like slowly
Teaching my heart how to retreat
This isn’t anger
It’s clarity
This isn’t loss
It’s honesty
Final Chorus
I don’t hate you
I just stopped trying to bleed
For a future that never wanted
All of me
If walking away is a kind of courage
Then let this be my release
I don’t hate you
I chose to disappear
I chose peace
Outro
I don’t hate you
I just stopped trying to bleed
I don’t hate you
I chose to disappear
(I chose peace)
I chose me
Tonenico
