No one wants to let go
You gotta fight against your every instinct
And that's hard to do
No one wants to quit
No one wants to admit to themselves
What's actually true
Only you
Can be the one to make the first move
Push through the pain
Only you can be the one to say I'm done and walk away
It's gonna hurt
But it's what I have to do
I'm leaving now
I'm putting one foot in front of the other now
I deserve to let you go
And build a better version on my own
Somehow
I feel better already
Or at least a bit lighter
Just by deciding I've left you behind
There's room in my head
Now that getting you back isn't taking up every inch
Of my mind
It's strange to imagine my everyday
Without you
Without waking up next to your face
It's strange that I don't have a clue
What'll happen when I leave this place
But I know for sure
It's what I have to do
I'm leaving now (okay, yep)
I'm putting one foot in front of the other now
I deserve to let you go
And build a better version on my own
Somehow
And if you're listening, I love you
I think I always will
