Walking Away From You

Verse 1

Your toothbrush still leaning by the sink

Like you’re coming back, like you didn’t leave

I keep the light on in the hallway at night

Like somehow that’ll make this feel less real to me

Your jacket’s hanging where you left it last

I swear I almost moved it once… then couldn’t act

‘Cause if I touch it, it might all collapse

And I’m not ready for the truth like that

Pre-Chorus

We said forever like we had the time

Now forever’s just a fault line

Chorus

I’m leaving you, but I don’t want to go

Every step feels like I’m letting go of home

We built a life I don’t know how to lose

Now I’m packing up a past I still choose

And I hate that love ain’t always enough

That two good hearts can still come undone

If I stay, we break, if I leave, we bleed

So I’m walking away from you… and me

Verse 2

We used to talk ‘til the morning light

Now silence sits between every fight

We said things we can’t take back

And now they echo every time we try to act alright

I know your face better than my own

Every line, every scar, every tone

And that’s what makes this cut so deep

How do I leave what made me feel complete?

Pre-Chorus

We tried to fix what we couldn’t save

Now love just feels like a wave we outgrew

Chorus

I’m leaving you, but I don’t want to go

Every step feels like I’m losing control

We built a life I don’t know how to lose

Now I’m breaking all the dreams we drew

And I hate that love ain’t always enough

That holding on just made it too rough

If I stay, we break, if I leave, we bleed

So I’m walking away from you… and me

Bridge

Maybe in another life, we got it right

No slammed doors, no sleepless nights

Maybe we don’t fall apart this way

Maybe we found better words to say

But here we are, standing in the end

Two strangers trying to pretend

That goodbye don’t feel like death

With every shaky breath

Final Chorus

I’m leaving you, and it’s tearing me down

Every mile just puts more distance in the sound

Of your voice calling out my name

Like if I turn around, it won’t be the same

And I hate that love had to come to this

From everything… to nothing left to miss

If I stay, we break, if I leave, we bleed

So I’m walking away from you… and me

Outro

So if you ever think of me sometimes

Just know I almost changed my mind

But love shouldn’t feel like a losing fight

So I chose goodbye… even though it wasn’t right
