You left a mark.
I still smile.
But I won’t live in the in-between.
[Verse 1]
You were a spark in a quiet week,
A warm light, but you wouldn’t speak.
Close enough to feel your heat,
Too far to ever meet me deep.
I saw the parts you hide from touch,
The “I’m fine” that says too much.
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanted growth, you wanted calm,
I wanted truth, you wanted “don’t.”
Still… when your name comes on my phone,
My heart remembers you as gold.
[Build]
You move like summer, then you freeze,
One step forward, two steps back to peace.
I can’t be the place you disappear,
I can’t love a shadow into here.
[Drop / Chorus Hook]
Stay in your comfort zone—
I’ll take my love and go.
You made me smile, you made me strong,
But I won’t wait where I don’t belong.
Stay in your comfort zone—
I’ll keep the good, let go.
You left a mark under my skin,
But I’m not living half-way in.
[Verse 2]
You taught me calm in crowded days,
A softer kind of brave.
I learned my worth in the space you gave,
And in the space you couldn’t save.
I think I changed you just a little too,
Showed you what real closeness can do.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I won’t blame you for the walls you built,
But I won’t turn my life to guilt.
If love is work, I’m not afraid—
But you never clocked in, you never stayed.
[Build 2]
And I still laugh when I replay
The way you looked at me that day.
Bittersweet is still a taste
I don’t regret, I just replace.
[Drop / Chorus Hook (repeat)]
Stay in your comfort zone—
I’ll take my love and go.
You made me smile, you made me strong,
But I won’t wait where I don’t belong.
Stay in your comfort zone—
I’ll keep the good, let go.
You left a mark under my skin,
But I’m not living half-way in.
[Bridge (breakdown, minimal beat)]
If you ever choose the hard way,
If you ever learn to stay—
You know where honest love begins…
Not in fear, not in “maybe,” not in thin.
[Final Drop / Outro]
Stay in your comfort zone—
I’ll take my love and go.
I’ll keep the smile you gave to me,
And pick a love that picks me.
