For your sake

I’ve been breaking in silence

Holding on just to watch us fall

Every word feels like violence

Every touch don’t feel the same at all

We’re ghosts in the places we used to be alive

Two strangers wearing love as a disguise

And I wish I could fix this

But I can’t save what’s already gone

If I stay, I’ll just keep you from moving on

So I’ll say goodbye, for your sake, not mine

I’ll bleed alone so you can breathe this time

If losing me is what it takes to set you free

Then goodbye will have to be my mercy

Every dream that we painted

Crumbles under the weight of truth

And I know we’ve both been waiting

For someone brave enough to cut us loose

I’d rather break than watch you fade away

Sometimes love means walking from the flame

[Bridge] (soft / stripped back)

I love you enough to let you go

Even if it tears the skin from my soul

You deserve the sun; I’ll take the night

This is my last gift: goodbye

So I’ll say goodbye, for your sake, not mine

I’ll bleed alone so you can breathe this time

If losing me is what it takes to set you free

Then goodbye will have to be my mercy

(Whispered/fading) Goodbye… goodbye… for your sake
