[Verse 1]
You said I'm acting different but brought it up casually
'Cause you know confrontation scares the living hell out of me
And we talked through our options, but I didn't see any
'Cause my dream, it's always been right here in Music City
And when my dad was helping me pack as I was crying
He asked, "Are you sure?"
[Chorus]
And I felt heartless, I felt selfish
Like maybe I'm making a mistake and I can help it
Maybe I should stay, maybe I'm crazy
For trying to push myself out of my limits
You didn't hurt me, nobody's screaming
I'm simply putting a box in a backseat
Holy shit, just 'cause I'm leaving
Doesn't mean I won't have regrets
Or that this breaks my heart less
[Verse 2]
I know I did the breaking up and I should really own it
But I don't think I'm even allowed to be sad for a moment
But I've been crying four weeks straight
Trying to convince myself I'm okay
It'll get easier one day, won't it?
[Chorus]
And I felt heartless, I felt selfish
Maybe I'm making a mistake and I can help it
Maybe I should stay, maybe I'm crazy
For trying to push myself out of my limits
You didn't hurt me, nobody's screaming
I'm simply putting a box in a backseat
Holy shit, just 'cause I'm leaving
Doesn't mean I won't have regrets
Or that this breaks my heart less
[Bridge]
And how narcissistic of me when I was the one
Who chose to leave
When this should be about you and how you constantly proved
That you were too good to me
[Chorus]
And I'm so heartless, I'm so selfish
For saying I'm making a mistake and I can help it
Maybe I should stay, maybe I'm crazy
For trying to push myself out of my limits
You didn't hurt me, nobody's screaming
I'm simply putting a box in a backseat
But holy shit, just 'cause I'm leaving
Doesn't mean I won't have regrets
Or that this breaks my heart less
