Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Oh-oh-oh Couldn't be with you, you, you, you I gave you all the time I had, I was waiting Through the silence, through the rain, anticipating You loved me on your terms, only when it fit But love ain't something you give in shifts I tried to bend, but I always broke Wrote our story while you spoke in smoke You held me, but never touched my soul It's sad, 'cause you were everything I called whole Told myself you'd change, but you never did I was dreaming us while you were just a kid Couldn't make you stay, even if I begged Now I'm standing in the ruins of what we said Couldn't be with you Even if I loved you more than I do Couldn't stay in this lie, even if I wanted to You broke me so quietly I forgot who I was trying to be Couldn't be with you Couldn't be with you You, you, you Couldn't be with you You, you, you No, no, no, no You only called when the night fell cold When your ego needed someone to hold I was your comfort, but never your choice Tried to scream but lost my voice You talked about love like it was a war But I was bleeding long before Now the mirror shows someone I don't know But I'm better, even walking slow Told myself you'd see me for who I am But you kept your heart locked, never gave a damn Couldn't fix the space you left behind So I filled it with my peace of mind Couldn't be with you Even if I loved you more than I do Couldn't stay in this lie, even if I wanted to You broke me so quietly I forgot who I was trying to be Couldn't be with you Couldn't be with you And I wanted to be your everything But your forever had an ending You left me like a line in a song Half-sung, but now I'm moving on Told myself I'd die without your light But darkness showed me how to fight Couldn't be with you and still love me So I chose to set me free Couldn't be with you Even if I loved you more than I do Couldn't stay in this lie, even if I wanted to You broke me so quietly I forgot who I was trying to be Couldn't be with you Couldn't be with you You, you, you Couldn't be with you You, you, you No, no, no Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Oh-oh-oh Couldn't be with you, you, you, you
