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
