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
