[Verse 1]
You’ve been quiet like the rain before the fall
I can feel the distance growing through the wall
I won’t ask you to pretend,
But don’t just vanish like the wind
[Pre-Chorus]
If there’s goodbye behind your eyes
At least just let me know in time
[Chorus]
If you have to go, don’t slam the door
Don’t leave me wondering what I was fighting for
Say it soft, don’t twist the knife
I gave you all I had, just spare my pride
If it’s the end, then take it slow
Please, if you have to go...
[Verse 2]
Your touch don’t linger like it used to do
I’m holding on to ghosts, not holding you
If the spark is really gone,
Don’t let me keep the lights turned on
[Pre-Chorus]
If this is it, don’t make it cruel
Just don’t let me feel like a fool
[Chorus]
If you have to go, don’t slam the door
Don’t leave me wondering what I was fighting for
Say it soft, don’t twist the knife
I gave you all I had, just spare my pride
If it’s the end, then take it slow
Please, if you have to go...
[Bridge]
I won’t beg, I won’t chase
But don’t erase me without a trace
Just a word, just a look
So I can close the final book
[Final Chorus]
If you have to go, I’ll let you leave
But don’t pretend it’s all on me
Say it soft, don’t twist the knife
I gave you all I had, just spare my pride
If it’s goodbye, I’ll take it slow
Please… if you have to go
