Lyric

I’m not as strong as you believe I am

I just learned how to hold a perfect hand

Smiling like everything was fine

While breaking little pieces inside

Every word I said, I shaped for you

Every move I made, rehearsed and true

I wore a love that wasn’t mine

Just to keep you by my side

But love shouldn’t feel like a stage

And I’m tired of hiding in this cage

So let me go, before I ruin you

Before my shadows cover all your truth

I gave you love, but it was incomplete

A fragile lie wrapped in something sweet

I still love you, don’t you doubt it now

But staying here won’t save us somehow

So I’ll walk away with tears I hide

Still loving you… from the other side

Every day I tried to be your light

But maybe I was blocking your sky

All the things I did for you

Turned into chains I never knew

You gave me warmth I can’t erase

A gentle love I can’t replace

Your arms, your voice, your quiet care

Are written in me everywhere

This choice might break me into two

But staying would break both of us too

So let me go, before I ruin you

Before I dim the best in you

I gave you love, I swear it’s real

But not enough for us to heal

I still love you, it won’t disappear

Even if I’m no longer here

So I’ll step back, though it cuts deep

And carry you in dreams I keep

Maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m a fool

Throwing away something beautiful

But watching you fade because of me

Is more than my heart can ever be

So I’ll become who I must be

A perfect stranger you won’t see

Like an actress in her final scene

Smiling while she bleeds unseen

So let me go… don’t follow me

This is my last act of honesty

I loved you more than words can say

That’s why I’m walking away

I’ll be alright, I’ll play my part

A leading role with a shattered heart

One day you’ll shine, and when you do

I hope you’ll forget… I once loved you

But if you don’t…

If you still remember my name…

Just know…

I never stopped loving you
