I stayed for the light in your shadow

I stayed when the nights turned hollow

I stayed, but my heart knew the cost

You saw the good, you held on to hope

But I felt the silence, I felt the choke

I stayed too, but we both got lost

⸻

Tears don’t lie, they burn right through

Truth in the echo, I finally knew

Tears don’t lie, they cut me too

Truth in your echo, I blamed you too

⸻

I want a love that fits the size of my love

No less, no more, just the size of my love

Oh-oh, oh-oh, we’re rising above

(Her) I didn’t leave ‘cause I stopped loving you,

I left ‘cause I started loving me too.

(Him) You didn’t leave ‘cause you stopped loving me,

You left ‘cause you started loving you too.

⸻

I held on when the storm kept raging

I held on to a dream worth saving

I held on, but I slipped from myself

I held back when the fear kept growing

I held words I was scared of showing

I held blame, but I kept it to myself

⸻

(Her) Tears don’t lie, they burn right through

(Him) Tears don’t lie, they cut me too

(Her) Truth in the echo, I finally knew

(Him) Truth in your echo, I blamed you too

⸻

I want a love that fits the size of my love

No less, no more, just the size of my love

Oh-oh, oh-oh, we’re rising above

(Her) I didn’t leave ‘cause I stopped loving you…

(Him) You didn’t leave ‘cause you stopped loving me…

(Both) We left ‘cause we started loving us too.
