You turned away, the room went cold
I felt the truth I never told
You held the door like it was shield
I lost the ground, I lost the fear
You said it's better if you go
But walking out is all I know
Leave me me behind if that's your way
I'll bleed in peace, I'll fade today
You take the light, I'll take the fall
We loved too fierce, we broke too small
You wore your hurt beneath your skin
I tried to reach, you caved me in
We passed the point of wrong and right
We held too tight, we learned to fight
You said it's better if you go
But walking out is all I know
Leave me behind if that's your way
I'll bleed in peace, I'll fade today
You take the light, I'll take the fall
We loved too fierce, we broke too small
If time came in, would we destroy it?
I'd fill the spaces we avoided
But love's a weight you couldn't lift
And letting go was both our gift
Leave me behind if that's your way
I'll bleed in peace, I'll fade today
You take the light, I'll take the fall
We loved too fierce, we broke too small
