I said things I didn't mean Just to be the one who leaves I thought I'd feel stronger that way But leaving never makes you brave I acted like it didn't hurt But every step just dragged me further down I told myself I had no choice But I still hear your quiet voice Not in dreams or distant days But in the parts that should feel safe And they don't Not since I let you go This was what I chose There's no one else to blame I built the distance And erased your name You kept on trying While I drifted far Finally walked away But it left a scar I said: I'm fine I said: It's done But now look at me I've come undone I knew it would end like this But I did it anyway I walk past places we used to sit Not to find you – just the weight of it It's not a memory, it's a bruise 'Cause memories fade, but this one moves I had a chance to stay that day But I needed to prove I didn't need anyone I practiced endings in my head Tried to craft the perfect end But there's no clean way to walk away When someone else still wants to stay I left, but the guilt remains Trapped between loss and pain This was what I chose There's no one else to blame I built the distance And erased your name You kept on trying While I drifted far Finally walked away But it left a scar I said: I'm fine I said: It's done But now look at me I've come undone I knew it would end like this But I did it anyway They say regret shows up in time But it was there before the door had closed I didn't miss you after I left I missed you while you were still close But I walked away Because it felt easy And now that I know what I lost Easy doesn’t mean anything This was what I chose There's no one else to blame I built the distance And erased your name You kept on trying While I drifted far Finally walked away But it left a scar I said: I'm fine I said: It's done But now look at me I've come undone I knew it would end like this But I did it anyway
