Lyrics
[Intro]
I don't know when I changed
I just know I did
One day I was reaching for your hand
The next, I was learning how to live without it
And I hate that I can't tell you
When I stopped feeling home
[Verse 1]
You think I'm angry
You think I'm keeping score
But I don't wake up wanting distance
I just don't know how to give you more
You ask me what I'm thinking
I say, “Nothing, I'm just tired”
But the truth is I've been wondering
If we're something I still desire
I know you see the difference
In the way I say your name
I feel you watching every silence
Wondering who's to blame
I've tried to find the girl I was
Before everything got heavy
But every time I reach for her
She's less ready to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe that's the cruelest part
I never meant to make you hurt
I just stayed quiet for so long
That leaving started feeling worse
[Chorus]
I'm standing at the edge of us
With one foot out the door
Wondering if love is something
You can lose without a war
I'm standing at the edge of us
And I don't know what to choose
'Cause staying means I hurt you slowly
Leaving means I hurt you too
[Verse 2]
You noticed him before I spoke
I saw it in your eyes
And suddenly I felt ashamed
For something I couldn't define
I wasn't looking for another
I wasn't trying to escape
He just asked me how I was
And I didn't have to fake
You don't know how strange it felt
To finally tell the truth
To say the things I swallowed down
And not feel scared of you
Maybe I crossed a line somewhere
Maybe I should've walked away
But he didn't steal me from you
I was already fading away
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I could give you reasons
That would make this easier to hear
But sometimes nothing's really broken
And you still know the end is near
[Chorus]
I'm standing at the edge of us
With one foot out the door
Wondering if love is something
You can lose without a war
I'm standing at the edge of us
And I don't know what to choose
'Cause staying means I hurt you slowly
Leaving means I hurt you too
[Bridge]
I don't want to erase our memories
Or pretend you meant nothing to me
You loved me when I needed someone
And that's what makes this hard to leave
Maybe I stayed because I loved you
Maybe I stayed because I was scared
Maybe I confused being comfortable
With knowing you were still there
[Breakdown]
I wish I could say
I stopped loving you overnight
Then you'd have something to fight
But it happened in the quiet
Between our ordinary days
I didn't fall out of love with you
I just stopped finding my way back
[Final Chorus]
I'm standing at the edge of us
And now I know the truth
You deserve somebody certain
And I can't keep pretending that's you
I'm standing at the edge of us
And my hands are shaking still
But sometimes loving someone
Means letting go against your will
[Outro]
You asked me to give it time
I did
I just spent that time
Finding out I couldn't stay
