Throwing you away

Verse 1
You were my home, my quiet place
The one my soul would always chase
I gave you love with open hands
Believed forever was our plan

Then one night you slipped away
Said you were lost, you couldn’t stay
You found her arms, another name
And left me burning in the flame

Pre-Chorus
You said it wasn’t what it seemed
Said I was still your everything

Chorus
You said you love me, said you need me
Said you never meant the pain
You pulled me close, you made me believe
Then you let go once again
You took my heart, I watched you break it
Promised you would never stray
Now I’m standing here, empty-handed
’Cause you’re throwing it away again

Verse 2
I tried to heal, I tried to move
But every road still led to you
Then you came back with tearful eyes
Said goodbye was all a lie

You said my name like it was prayer
Said no one else could ever care
I gave you more than I had left
Ignored the fear, ignored myself

Pre-Chorus
I wanted truth, not yesterday
But hope still got in my way

Chorus
You said you love me, said you need me
Said you wanna come back home
You held my scars like they were sacred
Swore I wouldn’t be alone
You took my heart, I tried to save it
But it never learns to stay
Now I’m breaking all over again
’Cause you’re throwing it away again

Bridge
Maybe love shouldn’t feel like war
Or waiting by a closing door
If I keep choosing all this pain
I’ll be the one to blame

Final Chorus
You say you love me, but you leave me
Every time I start to heal
I’m tired of begging you to see me
Tired of loving what’s not real
You took my heart, and this time maybe
I won’t let you make me stay
If loving you means losing me
I won’t let you throw it away

Outro
I was your constant, I was true
Now I’m learning to let go of you
