See what I have to do now is finally clear
Thank you for turning away
I don't think I would have found the door without you closing it
It's time to let you go
Let you run toward whatever was calling you louder than me
I know now I was never where you meant to stay
I miss the silence in my pocket, the screen that doesn't light up anymore
But for my sanity I have to lay it down from the altar
I built with my hands
For building my hands
You're free now, free from my wanting
From my knocking on rooms that never open
Free from me asking if we could sit still
Long enough to feel something real
You said you needed air, I kept opening windows
I didn't see you were already halfway gone
(Hmm, yeah)
I thought love was a bridge you cross when you were ready
But I was standing alone in the middle calling your name
So I will untether my heart before it tears in two
I will loosen my hands from holding on to you
No more waiting, no more breaking, no more trying to prove
If you don't choose me
I will choose for you
If love is letting go, then I will let you go
And save what's left of me
You built your walls so careful, turned cold when the room grew warm
You disappeared for days and I learned how to survive the space between replies
Wondering if I mattered, or if I was just convenient
I folded myself smaller so I wouldn't scare you
Stood in the doorway of your heart like a guest who overstayed
I untether my heart, I let it be bruised
I release your name from the weight of my truth
No more waiting, no more breaking, no more trying to be enough for you
If you don't choose me, I finally choose me
If love is letting go, then I will let you go
And this time I won't look back
This time I won't look back
Hmm, hmm
