I hear the silence after every fight,
The space between us colder every night.
You hold my hand but not my heart,
We’ve been drifting worlds apart.
I see the love fading in your eyes,
Like a candle lost against the tide.
We tried so hard, we lost our way,
Now all that’s left are words we never say.
So let me go, set me free,
Don’t hold on if you don’t love me.
I’d rather walk alone in pain,
Than stay where love won’t breathe again.
We built a house on broken dreams,
Told ourselves we were meant to be.
But every whisper, every sigh,
Turned to echoes of goodbye.
I see the love fading in your eyes,
Like a candle lost against the tide.
We tried so hard, we lost our way,
Now all that’s left are words we never say.
So let me go, set me free,
Don’t hold on if you don’t love me.
I’d rather walk alone in pain,
Than stay where love won’t breathe again.
(Oh-oh-oh, I won’t beg you to stay…)
(Oh-oh-oh, if love has lost its way…)
If I cry tonight, let it be,
The last tear I will ever need…
So let me go, don’t say a word,
I’ll take my heart, I’ll take the hurt.
And in the end, when time has passed,
Maybe love was never meant to last…
