Thank You

Verse 1:

I tried to hold on, thought love would stay,

But your silence pushed me away.

You said “it’s not you, I just need time,”

But I was losing pieces of my mind.

Now I see the lesson in the pain,

You can’t pour love from an empty vein.

Pre chorus:

Still, in the quiet, I found me,

A love I’d lost so easily.

Now every tear that hit the floor,

Built the strength I was praying for.

Chorus:

I guess maybe I should thank you—,

For doing what I couldn’t do—

You walked away, now I see through—,

All the things I held on to

You said I needed space to grow—,

But all that silence felt so cold—.

Verse 2:

Every memory still lingers slow,

Like perfume in my favorite clothes.

You taught me how to let things go,

Even when my heart said no.

Now I can smile when your name appears,

No bitterness, just quiet tears.

I found myself in losing you,

The peace I sought came shining through.

No more chasing what’s not mine,

I made my closure over time.

Love don’t always mean to stay,

Sometimes it’s best to walk away.

Pre chorus:

Still, in the quiet, I found me,

A love I’d lost so easily.

Now every tear that hit the floor,

Built the strength I was praying for.

Chorus:

I guess maybe I should thank you—,

For doing what I couldn’t do—

You walked away, now I see through—,

All the things I held on to

You said I needed space to grow—,

But all that silence felt so cold—.

Bridge:

I don’t hate you, I don’t miss you,

I just finally forgive you.

For leaving when you had to go,

For teaching me to love my soul—.

Final chorus:

I guess maybe I should thank you—,

For doing what I wouldn’t do—

You walked away, now I see through—,

All the things I held to—
