You watched me laugh
You watched me shine
You saw their eyes
Meet mine

You said it hurt
You said too much
You turned your back
To save your pride

I didn't chase
I didn't beg
You made your choice
You walked away

But before you go
Let me make one thing clear
You can leave tonight
I'll still be here

Go find out
What you think you need
Go ahead
Set yourself free

Just remember
When the silence starts

You don't lose someone
Without losing a part

Go ahead, darling
Walk out that door
Tell yourself
You don't want me anymore

Find somebody new
Give them your time
Pretend you don't miss
The way you were mine

But when the night gets cold
When nobody knows your heart
You'll remember what you had
Before you tore it apart

Go ahead, darling
You can run if you want

You'll come looking for me
When you finally learn
What you lost

You called it jealousy
I called it fear
You couldn't stand
The thought of me elsewhere

You wanted all of me
You wanted control
Then you chose to leave
Before I could let go

Funny how distance
Changes the view
Funny how absence
Makes memories loud

You wanted freedom
So take it tonight

Just don't confuse
Leaving me
With being alright

Go find out
What you think you need
Go ahead
Set yourself free

Just remember
When the silence starts

You don't lose someone
Without losing a part

Go ahead, darling
Walk out that door
Tell yourself
You don't want me anymore

Find somebody new
Give them your time
Pretend you don't miss
The way you were mine

But when the night gets cold
When nobody knows your heart
You'll remember what you had
Before you tore it apart

Go ahead, darling
You can run if you want

You'll come looking for me
When you finally learn
What you lost

I won't promise
I'll be waiting

I won't promise
I'll stay the same

You might come back
With your hands wide open

I might smile
And forget your name

So go

Make your mistake

Take your time

I'll be fine

Go ahead, darling
Walk out that door
You don't have to love me anymore

Find somebody new
Give them your time
See if they can read
Your heart like mine

And when you miss this
Don't call it a surprise

You knew what you had
You just didn't realize
How hard it'd be
To find it twice

Go ahead, darling

Run while you can

I'll let you go

And I'll let you come back
If I still want you then

So go

Be free

Just don't forget

You left me

I didn't leave you
