Lyrics

Verse 1
We used to sit outside on grandma’s steps
Summer air, sunset cigarettes
Laughing so hard that we couldn’t breathe
Back when life felt softer to me
Back when we thought blood fixed pain
Back when love could outrun rain
Funny how growing up changes things
Now healing hurts more than anything
Pre-Chorus
And I still pray for you before I sleep
Still carry memories I couldn’t leave
Cause even with distance between me and you
My heart still loves you the same truthfully
Chorus
Guess my peace cost me everything
Even people that felt like home to me
Now I ride through old streets wondering
How love got lost in survival dreams
No, I don’t hate you, never did
We both got scars we never fixed
And sometimes love means stepping away
Before we break what still exists
Verse 2
People think walking away is easy
Like I woke up and chose this feeling
But nobody sees the nights I cried
Asking God if I made it out right
Cause losing family while they’re still here
That kind of pain hit different I swear
You grieve somebody still alive
And somehow keep surviving inside
Bridge
I’d rather walk away than hurt you
You not my enemy and I love you
But we both got work to do
The battle isn’t just yours, it’s mine too
Maybe if we get our shit together
We’ll all ball together
But if not… another life, another try
I love you sis even in this mess
I’m sorry I let you down
But I got my own war going on now
Outro
So if you hear this song someday
Please don’t think I walked away in hate
Cause I still love you… through all this pain
I just had to save me too
