Lyrics
Verse I
I won’t stay to watch you turn and leave me—
Not if silence makes it easier.
Let me be the one to fold the ending,
Even if I never asked for this.
Verse II
No, I’m not prepared to hold this calmly,
These aren’t tears I meant to show you now.
Still, if going makes things clearer,
Then go on—I won’t call you back—oh...
Chorus
So I’ll let you drift, no need to answer.
Everything has edges we outgrow—oh...
Still, if you go, choose someplace I won’t follow,
Far enough for memory to slow.
Verse III
What you were, not what you said, is staying—
Brefth you left that lingered in the air.
Time won’t cleanse, it only rearranges,
And forgetting isn’t always fair—oh...
Chorus
So I’ll let you drift, no need to answer.
Everything has edges we outgrow—oh...
Still, if you go, choose someplace I won’t follow,
Far enough I won’t mistake the door.
Bridge
There were words I held but never offered,
And a version of you I still keep—
Aaaah, AAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!
Final Chorus
So I’ll let you drift, no need to answer.
Everything has edges we outgrow—oh...
Still, if you go, choose someplace I won’t follow,
Far enough I won’t mistake the door.
Outro
I once told myself this wouldn’t linger—
That we never had enough to last.
Now I know that small things echo longer
Than the ones we swore would hold us fast.
