Take my soul

[Intro (soft, almost to self]

(You can have it all)
(I don’t need it anymore)

Verse 1

I didn’t say a word when you walked away
I watched your shadow fade out of the day
I thought if I stayed quiet long enough
You might turn around before it got too dark
I carry your name in every breath
Learning how to live with what’s left
Every room still sounds like you
Even the silence tells me the truth

Pre-Chorus

I kept your side of the bed the same
Like love might find its way back again

Chorus

If you’re gone, then take my soul
If you’re gone, I’m done with love
You can have it all, just take it all
I’m tired, tired, tired
Of holding on
So if you’re gone
Please take my soul
(take my soul)

Verse 2
I walk the halls we used to call home
Every echo reminds me I’m alone
I reach for places you used to be
But all I touch is what’s left of me
I replay the plans we never tried
You were my north when I lost the light
I wanted forever, you took the spark
Now I’m learning how to live in the dark

Pre-Chorus

The sheets are cold, the room feels bare
Still half-believing you’re there

Chorus

If you’re gone, then take my soul
If you’re gone, I’m done with love
You can have it all, just take it all
I’m tired, tired, tired
Of holding on
So if you’re gone
Please take my soul
(take my soul)

[Bridge - breakdown / spoken]

Just take my soul
Take it all
I don’t want it
I don’t need it now
If this is what loving costs
You can have it

[Final Chorus - soft lift, restrained]

If you’re gone, then take my soul
If you’re gone, I’m done with love
You can have it all, just take it all
I’m tired, tired, tired
Of holding on
So if you’re gone
Please take my soul
(take my soul)

[Outro almost a whisper]

Please… take it all
If your gone, take my soul. 
Cause I don’t need it anymore
