You held my heart like something borrowed
Warm in your hands cold when you were done
I opened every door inside me
And you walked out of each one
I learned your shadow better than your face
Loved your silence more than your words
But love that isnt returned
Becomes a weight too heavy for one person to carry
I begged for truth you offered distance
I asked for honesty you gave escape
I wasnt asking you to save me
Only not to vanish without a trace
So go if leaving feels like breathing
Go if staying makes you ache
I’ll gather the pieces you left behind
And build a life you will never break again
If I was just a moment for you
Know you were a lifetime for me
And thats the cruelest part
Loving who only loved the idea of being loved
So I release you like a ghost
From a house that no longer wants haunting
If theres grace in goodbye let this be it
My final letting go

And thats the cruelest part
Loving who only loved the idea of being loved
So I release you like a ghost
From a house that no longer wants haunting
If theres grace in goodbye let this be it
My final letting go
