[Verse 1]
We were picking out tiles for a house
Names for a daughter you’d carry around
You said, "Save that picture, that’s our couch"
Now I’m packing up the frame, turning it down
Your hoodie in a box by the door
Your toothbrush still cold on the sink
I’m rehearsing what I’ll say, heart sore
Trying not to let the goodbye blink
[Chorus]
I gotta exit you from my future
Cut your face from every plan I drew
I don’t wanna, God, I don’t wanna
But staying here would only bruise us two
We had forever on the calendar
Now I’m crossing out our names with a marker
I gotta exit you from my future
So maybe I can heal a little sharper (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Your mother still checks in on my phone
Asks if we’re coming for Sunday again
I type "we’re fine" then erase what I wrote
‘Cause we already passed our dead end
We were saving for rings in a jar
Now it’s rent, just me, different scars
You’re a contact I scroll past fast
Like a street I can’t drive down from the past
[Chorus]
I gotta exit you from my future
Cut your face from every plan I drew
I don’t wanna, swear I don’t wanna (no)
But loving you keeps breaking me in two
We had forever on the calendar
Now I’m crossing out our names with a marker
I gotta exit you from my future
So maybe I can heal a little sharper (oh)
[Bridge]
How do I unlearn your birthday?
Un-know the color of your eyes?
How do I move my stuff from the driveway
Of a life we both designed?
I’m leaving for me, not against you (yeah)
But it still feels like a crime
You’re the love I have to lose
So I get to keep my mind
[Chorus]
I gotta exit you from my future
Tear us out the picture, page by page
I don’t wanna, but I choose it
Staying stuck would only feed the rage
We had forever on the calendar
Now I’m walking out, the date grows darker
I gotta exit you from my future
So maybe I can find a softer after (mm)
I gotta exit you from my future
Even if my heart stays in your chapter
