Lyrics

Leaving is hard to do

Leaving is a difficult decision.

But I knew we wouldn't make it through

The speaker anticipated the relationship's inability to endure.

I knew it wasn't right to stay

Recognizing the need to leave as it wasn't the right choice to stay.

When I was bleeding out

The speaker felt emotionally wounded.

I tried my best not to make a sound

Struggling in silence to avoid showing vulnerability.

So you would think that I'm okay

Pretending to be okay externally despite inner turmoil.

I know that I will be replaced

Acceptance that someone else will take the speaker's place.

I know that I will be replaced

Reiteration of the inevitability of being replaced.

Looking back I wish I had seen

Regret for not realizing earlier how the partner caused pain.

All the ways that you hurt me

Reflecting on the various ways the partner caused emotional harm.

I'm feeling so alone tonight

Feeling a profound sense of loneliness in the present moment.

Even at seventeen

Recalling a time of youth at the age of seventeen.

We had the world at our feet

During adolescence, the couple seemed to have endless possibilities.

You didn't want that world with me

Realizing the partner didn't want a future together.

We've fallen out of touch

Experiencing a loss of connection and communication.

It'd be a lie to say I wasn't crushed

Admitting to feeling deeply hurt by the separation.

I never wanted things to change

Initial resistance to change, wanting things to stay the same.

But now it's hard for me to sing

Expressing the difficulty of singing about painful memories.

About these broken memories

Struggling with the emotional weight of broken memories.

It's hard to go on without you

Expressing the difficulty of moving forward without the partner.

And after all that we've been through

Reflecting on the shared experiences and hardships.

Find another someone to lie to

Suggesting the ex-partner will find someone else to deceive.

You didn't want that world with me

Emphasizing that the partner didn't want a future together (repeated).

Even though we weren't meant to be

Concluding that the relationship was not meant to be.
