We donât fight it anymore
We just sit in the silence.
Two shadows in a room
Trying hard not to break it.
You trace circles on my hand
Like youâve memorized it.
And if you let go first
Then it might all cave in.
But we both know this is what it is.
And I hope somebody holds you
Like I used.
And I hope they see the magic
Like I still do.
So baby tell me
is it time to move on?
Cause Iâm not the one you call anymore.
Running low on our time,
Broken down and half alive.
So now Iâll love you from the other side.
We donât say any of it out loud.
Love shouldnât feel like
Weâre drowning just to stay afloat.
If holding on means hurting you
And staying means we slowly lose,
Then maybe letting go is mercy
Even if it ruins me and you.
Iâll learn how not to call
When something good goes wrong
Iâll delete the little things
That still feel like our song.
Iâll pretend I donât check
Who youâre with or where youâve been.
Like it doesnât pull the air
Right out of my lungs again.
I hope somebody holds you
Like I used to do.
And I hope they see the magic
The way I always do.
If loving you means stepping back
And letting someone else have that,
Then maybe thatâs what love is
Even if it ruins me.
If I see you on a street someday
Iâll smile like Iâm okay
Like I didnât memorize your laugh
Or the freckles on your face.
And if you ever look for me
In the crowd on a Friday night,
Iâll be somewhere in the back row
With my eyes already locked on you.
So weâll move on
But that doesnât mean goodbye.
Some loves donât get the story
They just learn how to survive.
And Iâll always be the one
Who knew you inside
Even if Iâm never
The one by your side.
We might not get forever,
But youâll have my whole life.
In the quiet of my heart
Where I still keep you tied
Iâll always love you
Just from the other side.
