Lyrics:
Maelle, I know the way you listen
Like you’re waiting for me to speak,
Like if you stand close enough
I won’t fall apart at the seams.
I wish I could give you answers,
Or a future I could defend,
But every promise I consider
Feels like something I’d only bend.
You see something worth saving,
I see a pattern I repeat.
You call it standing together,
I call it pulling you down with me.
So let me be the one you leave,
Let me be the lesson, not the scar.
I’ve been walking straight into the fire
Long before you knew who I was.
You don’t have to carry my ghosts,
You don’t have to stay and bleed.
If you love me the way I think you do,
Then Maelle—let me be the one you leave.
I don’t know how to stop moving,
Don’t know who I am at rest.
Every time you say my name
I feel like I’m failing some test.
You talk about tomorrow
Like it’s something we can choose,
But I only know how to survive
By already planning to lose.
You say I don’t have to earn it,
That I don’t have to be brave.
But love shouldn’t feel like standing
In the way of what you could save.
So let me be the one you leave,
Not the weight you learn to hold.
I’ve got too many endings in me
For the life you’re trying to grow.
You don’t owe me staying,
You don’t owe me belief.
If this hurts, let it hurt on me—
Maelle, let me be the one you leave.
If I stay, I’ll teach you silence,
How to pretend you’re fine.
You’ll start measuring your heart
By how well it survives mine.
And one day you’ll wake up smaller,
Calling it compromise.
I couldn’t live with myself
If I’m the reason you lose your light.
So let me be the one you leave,
Let me walk back into the flame.
I’ve been carrying this ending
Since before I knew your name.
You were never meant to save me,
I was never meant to stay.
If you remember me at all—
Remember I asked you to walk away.
Maelle, don’t look back for me,
I’ll be fine with the truth I chose.
Loving you was the only thing
That ever made me want to stop—
And that’s how I know
I have to let you go.
