Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 We were building something fragile Out of timing and excuses Out of things we never said And habits we got used to Every dream stayed in the distance Never close enough to hold I kept bending every boundary Just to make us feel like home I learned how to swallow questions Let the moment pass me by Called it “understanding” Every time I crossed my lines Pre-Chorus You said, “Love doesn’t always feel like fire,” But it shouldn’t feel like growing tired Chorus I don’t blame you I just stopped abandoning me For a version of forever That wouldn’t let me be free If letting go is part of healing Then I’m choosing to breathe I don’t blame you I just finally heard What I need Verse 2 I could hear it in your silence When the walls were going up How you’d pull away so gently Any time it got too much I kept giving 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 proved I was strong But hope turns into weight When you hold it too long Pre-Chorus You said, “This is all I have,” But loving you shouldn’t feel like losing that Chorus I don’t blame you I just stopped abandoning me For a version of forever That wouldn’t let me be free If letting go is part 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 - spoken / half-sung] I stayed because leaving felt like losing ground But staying felt like slowly fading out This isn’t anger, it’s the truth out loud Sometimes loving someone means walking out I don’t need closure 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 wouldn’t let me be free If letting go is part of healing Then this is my relief I don’t blame you I just finally chose Peace [Outro] No I don’t blame you, I just finally chose Me
