Dont hate you

Verse 1

We built a house out of almosts

Out of “someday” and “maybe we’ll see”

Every promise felt so heavy

Like it was leaning on me

I learned to speak in pauses

To fight without a sound

I’d lose every argument

Just to feel I had some ground

Pre-Chorus

You called it love

I called it delay

There’s a difference

When you’re the one who pays

I don’t hate you

I just stopped trying to bleed

For a future that never wanted

All of me

If walking away is courage

Let this be my release

I don’t hate you

I chose to disappear

I chose peace

Verse 2

I memorized your defenses

All the ways you turned cold

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 your breath

Just to fight the undertow

Pre-Chorus 2

You said, “This is how I am”

Like that settles the score

But love isn’t surviving

It’s what hurts you more

I don’t hate you

I just stopped trying to bleed

For a future that never wanted

All of me

If walking away is courage

Let this be my release

I don’t hate you

I chose to disappear

I chose peace

I stayed longer than I should

Because leaving felt like defeat

But staying felt like slowly

Teaching my heart to retreat

This isn’t anger

It’s clarity

This isn’t loss

It’s honesty

I don’t hate you

I just stopped trying to bleed

For a future that never wanted

All of me

If walking away is courage

Let this be my release

I don’t hate you

I chose to disappear

I chose peace

Some doors don’t slam

They close quietly

And that’s how I knew

It was time to leave
