My last

I thought you were my anchor in the stormy sea

But you were the weight pulling down on me

You held me close, you felt so kind

But disappeared the moment we lost time

The words that once would calm my fears

Are the same ones that broke me here

I tried to show you where it hurts

But you never learned how to hold my words

Pre-Chorus

You wanted peace when you walked through the door

A house that felt like home, nothing more

You said from me you’d never find

That quiet you needed for your mind

Chorus

I only wanted your affection

I only wanted your attention

Not the kind I had to beg to earn

Not the kind that made me burn

Now I’m learning how to let you go

Set my heart free, let healing grow

I’m choosing me, I’m choosing light

I’m leaving love that couldn’t stay alive

Verse 2

Every talk felt like a war

Every word, I braced for more

You silenced me before I’d speak

Left me feeling small and weak

You said the pain was all my own

That I was negative, alone

You turned my tears back into blame

Like loving you was my mistake

Pre-Chorus

I never meant to start a fight

I only wanted to feel alright

To feel your warmth without the cost

To not feel like I was lost

Chorus

I only wanted your affection

I only wanted your attention

To feel desired without the plea

To know you still were choosing me

But now I’m learning how to let you go

Trust the time, let healing flow

I’m choosing peace, I’m choosing heart

I don’t need you to restart

Bridge

I won’t ask the tables to turn

I won’t wait for lessons learned

I’ll sit with all this broken pain

Until it doesn’t scream your name

I’ll find the joy I gave away

I’ll feel the sun again someday

And slowly, softly, I’ll remember

Who I was before the surrender

Final Chorus (Soft → Strong)

I wanted love without condition

Not silence dressed as good intention

Now I release what hurt my soul

I don’t need you to feel whole

I’m letting go, I’m moving on

I’ll heal even when you’re gone

And in time, my heart will see

Genuine happiness returning to me

Outro

I’m not drowning anymore

I’ve reached the shore

I’ve let you go
