[Verse 1]
You’ve got one hand on the door, one hand reaching back,
Keeping just enough of me to pull me off the track.
Every call, every silence, every almost, every maybe,
Leaves me building futures that were never meant to save me.
I kept hoping one more sunrise would change the way you see,
That someday you’d wake up needing what I needed you to be.
But loving me halfway is a slow goodbye I know,
So if there’s any kindness left… then let me go.
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t leave me hanging on a string
You never planned to hold.
Don’t keep my heart in your pocket
Just because it’s yours to fold.
[Chorus]
If you care about me at all, let me go.
Don’t keep me where your heart won’t ever go.
I wanted forever, you wanted room to breathe,
Those aren’t the same, no matter what you believe.
You’ll never want me
Like I ache for you to.
That’s the truth I’ve fought,
But I can’t fight it for you.
So don’t give me pieces,
Don’t leave another door cracked open slow.
If you love me even a little…
Love me enough to let me go.
[Verse 2]
Don’t call because you’re lonely.
Don’t reach when life gets hard.
Don’t remind me how good I am
While keeping me at arm’s length in the dark.
I can’t heal while hoping.
I can’t breathe while I wait.
Every little breadcrumb
Just teaches my heart to hesitate.
[Bridge]
I’ll probably hate the silence.
I’ll probably cry your name.
I’ll probably look for you
In every face that looks the same.
But pain that finally ends
Is kinder than hope that never grows.
I’d rather break completely
Than spend forever almost.
[Final Chorus]
So if you care about me at all, let me go.
Don’t keep me tied to dreams you’ll never own.
I deserve a love that chooses me
Without convincing, without pleading.
Maybe someday I’ll thank you
For the goodbye I couldn’t say.
Because I’ll never stop reaching
If you keep reaching my way.
I wanted you.
You wanted less.
And neither one of us can change that now.
So before we lose
What’s left of who we are…
Please.
Just let me go.
