Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 We were building something fragile out of timing and excuses, Out of half-said truths and habits we were scared to ever lose. Every dream stayed in the distance, never close enough to hold, I was bending every boundary just to keep us feeling whole. I learned how to swallow questions, let the moment pass me by, How to call it “understanding” every time I compromised. Pre-Chorus You said, “Love don’t always feel like fire,” But it shouldn’t feel like slowly getting tired. Chorus I don’t blame you I just stopped abandoning me For a version of forever That couldn’t let me be free If letting go is a form of healing Then I’m choosing to breathe I don’t blame you I just finally heard What I need Verse 2 I could read your tone in seconds, knew when walls were coming up, How you’d disappear in silence every time it got too much. I kept pouring into empty, calling patience something pure, But love shouldn’t feel like begging just to feel a little sure. I was holding onto hope like it was proof that I was strong, But hope can turn to weight when you’ve been holding it too long. Pre-Chorus You said, “This is all I have to give,” But loving you shouldn’t feel like I don’t live. Chorus I don’t blame you I just stopped abandoning me For a version of forever That couldn’t let me be free If letting go is a form of healing Then I’m choosing to breathe I don’t blame you I just finally heard What I need [Post-Chorus soft, stripped] I don’t blame you I just stopped abandoning me Bridge I stayed because leaving felt like losing ground, But staying felt like slowly fading out. This ain’t bitterness, it’s truth coming clear, Sometimes loving someone means you can’t stay here. I don’t need closure wrapped in apologies, I just need my heart back, whole, in one piece. Final Chorus I don’t blame you I just stopped abandoning me For a version of forever That couldn’t let me be free If letting go is a form of healing Then this is my relief I don’t blame you I just finally chose Peace Outro I don’t blame you I just finally chose Me
