Thank You for Not Loving Me

You said

"it's not you

It's me"

Like a line rehearsed last week

I watched your eyes scan the floor

Mine traced the crack in the door

So thank you for not loving me

You freed the part you couldn't see

I'll cry tonight

Then I'll sleep clean

Thank you for not loving me

I thought you were the missing piece

You were just weight on my chest

At least

Now I can breathe

Thank you for not loving me

I wore my best joke that day

You barely laughed

Looked away

Guess all my trying showed through

Like cheap perfume on you

So thank you for not loving me

You freed the part you couldn't see

I'll cry tonight

Then I'll sleep clean

Thank you for not loving me

I thought you were the missing piece

You were just weight on my chest

At least

Now I can breathe

Thank you for not loving me

One day you'll scroll

See my face

Looking bright in some new place

You’ll pause a second

Think of me

I’ll raise a glass

To being free (oh)

So thank you for not loving me

You freed the part you couldn't see

Those empty plans

They’re history

Thank you for not loving me

I thought you were the missing piece

You were a step on the way

At least

Now I believe

Thank you for not loving me
