Title: “I Left With Me”
Intro
Yeah…
I didn’t forget you
I just found myself
Verse 1
Morning light feels different now
Same sun, but I don’t count it down
I still think of you sometimes
Just not with that ache inside
I say your name, it don’t pull me back
It’s just a word, just a fact
I don’t rewind every scene
I let it be what it’s been
Chorus
I didn’t lose you, I lost the weight
I carried love the wrong way
I don’t need answers, I don’t need proof
I left with me, I let go of you
I’m not angry, I’m not cold
I just grew where I was broke
I don’t look back to feel complete
I left with me, I left with me
Verse 2
I learned silence ain’t always pain
Sometimes it’s peace, sometimes it’s space
I stopped filling empty rooms
With memories I outgrew
I don’t rush love, I don’t chase
I let it come at its own pace
If it stays, then it stays
If it leaves, I’m still okay
Chorus
I didn’t lose you, I lost the weight
I carried love the wrong way
I don’t need answers, I don’t need proof
I left with me, I let go of you
I’m not angry, I’m not cold
I just grew where I was broke
I don’t look back to feel complete
I left with me, I left with me
Verse 3
I see you happy, and that’s alright
It don’t steal sleep from me at night
We were real, we were true
Just not meant to make it through
I thank you for the parts you gave
And the parts I had to save
You were a chapter, not the end
And I don’t need you to pretend
Bridge
Healing didn’t change my heart
It just taught me where to start
I loved deep, I loved clean
Now I love myself the same
Verse 4
If I love again, it won’t be fear
Won’t be proving I’m still here
I won’t shrink, I won’t bend
Just to keep someone in
I don’t wish you back or gone
I just wish you well and on
Some goodbyes don’t need a fight
They just turn into a life
Final Chorus / Outro
I didn’t lose you, I found my way
Found my voice, found my name
I don’t need closure from the truth
I left with me… I let go of you
(Outro, soft but steady)
I left with me
