I stood there with my heart in my hands

You looked away like I’d made no demands

I asked for truth, you gave me a door

Didn’t beg, didn’t plead, just wanted more

You said it quiet, but it cut like a knife

“I won’t fight for you, not this life.”

Like love’s just something we survive

Not something we protect, or keep alive

You'd rather let me go than face the storm

Rather walk away than try to keep me warm

Rather be alone than learn to bend

Rather watch it die than try again

And that’s the truth that broke my soul

You didn’t choose me—you let me go

All those nights I held us tight

Praying silence didn’t mean goodbye

You never raised your voice or fist

But baby, apathy hits harder than this

You said you hate to see me cry

But not enough to even try

And now the love I thought was real

Lies cold beneath your silent heels

You'd rather let me go than face the fight

Rather fade than bring us back to light

Rather lose me than face what’s wrong

Rather make me write this song

And that’s the wound you’ll never know

You didn’t love me—you let me go

One day you’ll miss what you threw away

A woman who stood, who begged you to stay

But silence was your weapon of choice

And I grew tired of chasing your voice

You let me go—and I let you too

‘Cause I won’t beg for someone who

Would rather leave than try to grow

Would rather numb than let love show

But I will rise, and you’ll still be low

'Cause I loved you deep—you let me go
