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
