Has to

Verse 1 (You)
Sunlight sneaking through the blinds, your hair glowing gold
Every little moment with you felt like home
Kitchen dancing, spinning circles, socks on the floor
Swore forever meant forever, what we fighting for?

But life got plans we didn’t write, didn’t choose
Dreams pulling both directions, nothing we can do
Tried to hold tighter but the tighter we gripped
The more we felt love slowly slip

Pre-Chorus
No villains here, no one to blame
Just two good hearts and a changing lane

Chorus (Upbeat / melodic)
So I’m letting you go, but I’m still your song
Still your safe place when the nights get long
Still your “what if,” still your truth
Ain’t a second I ain’t loving you
This ain’t breaking, this ain’t bad blood
This is tears mixed with real love
If staying only breaks us in two
I’ll step back… for you
Not ‘cause we wanted to
But ‘cause we had to

⸻

Verse 2 (Their perspective)
I still wear your hoodie when it rains outside
Still hear your voice on every late-night drive
Got your picture tucked deep in my phone
Truth is, leaving you’s the hardest thing I’ve known

You were my calm when the world got loud
My biggest fan in every crowd
If love was enough we’d never move on
But chasing my future meant leaving my home

I hope you know it wasn’t you
Every step away felt wrong and cruel
I didn’t walk ‘cause I stopped caring
I walked ‘cause life said “grow” and it’s tearing

Pre-Chorus (Both)
No anger left, just open hands
Two souls caught in different plans

⸻

Chorus (Bigger)
So I’m letting you go, but I’m still your song
Still your safe place when the nights get long
Still your “what if,” still your truth
Ain’t a second I ain’t loving you
This ain’t weakness, this is grown
Sometimes love means letting go
If holding on just dims our view
I’ll set you free… for you
Not ‘cause we wanted to
But ‘cause we had to

⸻

Rap Pocket (fast, emotional bounce)
Yeah
Heartbreak rhythm but we moving with the beat now
Tears in my eyes but I’m standing on my feet now
We didn’t fail, nah, this ain’t defeat now
Sometimes real love means you gotta let it breathe out

No lies, no games, no cheating
Just two dreams with two different meanings
Still got your name when my heart keeps speaking
But I’d rather see you fly than stay here bleeding

So go chase stars, I’ll chase mine too
Same sky above when the night cuts through
If love is real then it don’t undo
It just grows into something new

⸻

Bridge (half-time, emotional lift)
Maybe someday our roads align
Different time, different life
But even if they never do
I’ll still thank God I had you

⸻

Final Chorus (anthem feel)
Yeah I’m letting you go, but you’re never gone
Every memory keeps me strong
Every laugh, every truth
Still my favorite chapter — you
This ain’t goodbye, it’s see-you-soon
Different skies, same moon
If loving you means something new
I’ll walk away… for you
Not ‘cause we wanted to
But ‘cause we had to

Outro (soft)
Had to let you fly…
Still my heart every time…
