We tried to be the ones
That could hold on to something nice
The things we saw in the…
The things we felt in those first nights
But every night we get into it
And push each other to the end
And i know if its gonna fail
Its gonna end by something we say
So i know i need to leave this love
Yet everything i know says stand by your side
But if i stay with you
It requires a worser part of me
It used to be that we brought out our best
So stoked to spend any moment with you
But in time we could see the edge
Of where I hope to be and where we are
And i kept hoping that if i gave it more time
We could make it less complicated
But when it requires such a change in our hearts
I know it means a change in our souls
So I know i need to leave this love
Yet everything i know says stand by your side
But if i stay with you
It requires a deadening of me
I know its complicated for you
It isn’t much better for me
But if we try to honor our love
We might see a friendship worth honoring
And we can now see the difference
Between what we want, and what we have
And as time moves on, it starts to widen
The gap
We feel between me and you
And the people we were when we first met
So as we walk away
Lets try to honour those hearts
And I know i need to leave this love
When every word we say just breaks my heart
And i know it will be OK
We just gotta take the risk to start
