Verse 1

Every time I show my heart

You tear it clean in two

I kept believing love was patience

But patience ain’t abuse

I bent until I broke for you

Made excuses for your truth

Now I’m standing in this mirror

Finally choosing me over you

Pre-Chorus

Said I wouldn’t cry no more

But these tears still testify

Love shouldn’t feel like survival

I been dying just to try

Chorus

I’m strong enough to leave

(strong enough to leave)

Too weak to forget

(too weak, too weak)

I gave you everything

You gave me regret

So I’m leaving

Yeah I’m leaving

I’m leaving you

Verse 2

I packed your bags with memories

Folded lies and wasted years

Every promise you abandoned

Still echoes in my ears

I loved you past the warning signs

Past my better sense

I called it dedication

But it was self-defense

Pre-Chorus

I stayed hoping you’d change

While I slowly disappeared

Now I’m choosing my own peace

Even if it hurts to breathe

Chorus

I’m strong enough to leave

(strong enough to leave)

Too weak to forget

(too weak, too weak)

I gave you everything

You gave me regret

So I’m leaving

Yeah I’m leaving

I’m leaving you

Bridge (spoken / sung)

Don’t touch me now

Don’t say you finally see

You saw me breaking every night

And still let go of me

If love means losing myself

I don’t want it anymore

Breakdown

I’ll miss the way you held me

Not the way you made me small

I’ll heal the parts you never cared to love at all

Final Chorus (big, gospel-tinged)

I’m strong enough to leave

(strong enough to leave)

Too weak to forget

(too weak, too weak)

I gave you everything

You gave me regret

So I’m leaving

Yeah I’m leaving

I’m leaving you

Outro

And one day I’ll remember you

Without the pain

But tonight I walk away

To save my name
