enough to leave

(专辑： shot in the dark - 2023)

Selfishly, part of me wishes there was a part of me
That could be what you see potentially, everything you want
Married by a preacher that we both know
Least I get to lie awake alone
Knowing that you're better off with me long gone

'Cause I loved you enough to know I ain't what you'd need in the end
And I left your heart breaking when I hit the pavement and I'd do it again
'Cause you might hate me now but someday, yeah, somehow you're gonna see
That I loved you enough to leave

Coulda stayed, I coulda made every day a masquerade
Playing house, talking 'bout everything but everything
Outside of those county lines
Being happy, being so confined
Know you're gonna say I didn't try

But I loved you enough to know I ain't what you'd need in the end
And I left your heart breaking when I hit the pavement and I'd do it again
'Cause you might hate me now but someday, yeah, somehow you're gonna see
That I loved you enough to leave

And I didn't call you 'cause damn it, I knew
If I heard your voice I would turn right around

And I loved you enough to know I ain't what you'd need in the end
I left your heart breaking when I hit the pavement and I'd do it again
'Cause you might hate me now but someday, yeah, somehow
When you find that someone that ain't me, you'll see
That I loved you enough to leave
Yeah, I loved you enough to leave
