If I Stay, I'll Break

Caio Riviera

I've been standing at the doorway
With your name inside my chest
Every step I try to take
Pulls me deeper into yes

I can feel the truth between us
Like a fire with no control
If I stay a little longer
I might never let you go

I don't doubt the way you love me
I doubt the way I'll survive
Some loves ask you to stay
Some loves teach you goodbye

If I stay, I'll break
If I leave, I'll ache
Every part of me is torn
Between the night and day

I love you more than staying
More than being brave
So I'm running from the only place
That ever felt like home

(Ooh, don't follow me)
(Ooh, let me go)

I've loved you without defense
Without a place to hide
But loving you is costing me
The man I am inside

I don't want resentment
Growing where love should be
So I'm choosing distance now
Before it buries me

I don't want us turning bitter
From a truth we couldn't face
Some hearts are meant to meet
Not every heart can stay

If I stay, I'll break
If I leave, I'll ache
Every breath becomes a war
I'm not built to win this way

I love you more than comfort
More than feeling safe
So I'm running from the only love
That ever knew my name

I didn't fail at loving you
I loved you all the way
Sometimes the bravest thing to do
Is walk before you stay

If I stay, I'll break
Hear my heart, don't chase
I would rather lose this moment
Than lose myself this way

I love you enough to leave
Enough to let you hate
I'm running from the only truth
That asked me to be brave

If I stay, I'll break
Hear my heart, don't chase
I would rather lose this moment
Than lose myself this way

I love you enough to leave
Enough to walk away
I'm running from the only love
That taught me how to stay

(Run from love)
(But keep my name)
