No Hard Feelings

Yeah…

Sometimes love ain't about holding on.

Sometimes love means knowing when to let go.

No hard feelings…

I'm just choosing me this time.

We had our moments, we had our days,

Had something beautiful in so many ways.

But somewhere between the love and the pain,

We started losing more than we could gain.

I don't blame you, you don't blame me,

Maybe we're just not who we used to be.

And I won't turn our memories into war,

I'm grateful for what we were before.

I hope you find somebody who makes you smile,

Somebody who can love you through every mile.

And I hope you get everything you dreamed you'd have,

Even if I'm not the one standing there for that.

No hard feelings, I wish you well,

I hope life gives you heaven after all we've been through in hell.

No hard feelings, I'm letting go,

I can't keep losing me just to keep us both.

I loved you, yeah, I always will,

But sometimes loving you means leaving still.

So take your memories, I'll take my peace,

No hard feelings…

I'm finally choosing me.

I used to think that walking away

Meant everything we had was a mistake.

But now I see it a different way,

Some people are chapters, not forever stays.

You taught me things I needed to know,

You showed me places I needed to grow.

And even through the nights I cried,

I wouldn't erase you from my life.

I hope you find somebody who understands,

Who holds your heart and never lets it slip through their hands.

And if you ever think about the love we knew,

Just know there's no hate in me toward you.

No hard feelings, I wish you well,

I hope life gives you heaven after all we've been through in hell.

No hard feelings, I'm letting go,

I can't keep losing me just to keep us both.

I loved you, yeah, I always will,

But sometimes loving you means leaving still.

So take your memories, I'll take my peace,

No hard feelings…

I'm finally choosing me.

I'm choosing peace over proving my point,

Choosing healing over holding on.

Choosing sleep over another sleepless night,

Choosing myself and knowing that's alright.

And if we cross paths somewhere down the road,

I hope we smile instead of carrying the load.

No bitterness, no tears, no blame,

Just two people who grew from the same pain.

No hard feelings, I wish you love,

I hope you find everything you've been searching for.

No hard feelings, I'm walking free,

I'm not angry anymore, I'm just becoming me.

I loved you, yeah, and that's okay,

But I don't have to stay to prove what we had was real that day.

So take your memories, I'll take my peace,

You go find happiness…

And I'll go find me.

No hard feelings…

I wish you nothing but the best.

Yeah, yeah…

I'm choosing me this time.

Choosing me…

Ooh, I'm finally choosing me.

No hard feelings…

Just love, just peace…

And letting go.
