This is just a song, but it so much more. If I knew how to speak or could say anything to you this is what I would say:
Your diction and dietribe, posture, body language and connotations all pointed in the same direction
The selection of contingent messages postponed until further notice
Because I was ashamed to admit the problem and pretend your happiness came from me, and that your happiness was important
But we aborted the sorted truths we once distorted when I saw the shape of your dress when you wore it
And that was enough until it wasn't
And that's when you finally felt supported
So the others courted you and you mentally recorded and endorsed
The force perform of compliments you received came in
And you felt empowered enough to take your final bow
And find love within the arms of another instead of this heart of mine
And that's fine because I would do the same and I would leave me
Not because I'm useless and not because I'm broken
Not because I'm sad and not because I'm worthless
But because I saw value in your smile and not in your values
And I'm sorry, and I love you
And that's why I can finally sleep at night
Because you are free and you can thrive
And I'm just happy I got to be a part of your life
I'm just happy I got to be a part of the journey that you call your life
And I finally feel fine 'cause I spent so long trying to change you
Not realizing I was the one who needed to change
I was selfish to assume you loved me more than you loved yourself
Even though I never felt the same
And there's so many things that my selfishness tried to take away
But you were the one that was the hardest to watch walk away
But thank you for letting me be a part of everything you were building and creating
And finding truth in life and you were relating so much beauty
And I love you, and I'm sorry
Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey
Thank you for letting me be me
And thank you for setting me free
Showing me love in its full capacity
