I remember when we first met
It took me some time but eventually I convinced myself
Something in my mind told me we were going to last forever
Like you were all I ever needed
Like you were all I'd ever have
No matter what
I believed that, I don't know why
It hurts so bad because I've accepted our fate
You're finally and already slipping away
You don't need me anymore but it's hard to let go
My lifeline, I still need you
But all that's left is a few more days
Baby don't hurt me this badly
You're cutting me deeper than you ever did
Because you're longing for something new and younger
All the work I did for you just to lose it all
I'm sorry I couldn't turn back time
I'm sorry I can't go back
For you, for me, for us
But it's okay because I'll learn in time
How to function in a different world,
One where I don't belong the same
And here we are so far apart in mind
But still together just for a blink of an eye
You'll learn to function because you already know how
And the little versions of me are destined for more
I can't tell if I changed the world or if they'll do it without me
But at least they'll have you
I have to be happy for them
I have to be proud
I don't know them but I know that they'll love you
And maybe they'll make a legacy too
So here I am, saying goodbye
While the stabbing in my chest says hello
I know you're nothing in the grand scheme of things
But gosh, you were everything to me
What if I break without you?
What if I lose every speck of confidence you lent me?
What if I forget how much fun we had together?
What if every aspect of you forgets that I existed?
But here I am, saying goodbye
Regardless of my throbbing heart
Here I am, saying goodbye
I won't let you down by holding on too long
Just let me move on
Just let me move on
I don't want to move on
Just let me move on
