[Verse 1]
I’m doin’ this ‘cause I love you, yeah, isn’t that sweet? (Maybe)
Watchin’ us fail while I’m stuck on repeat
You think holdin’ on is love, but it’s not (Clearly, not!)
We’re drowning on sorrows from the mess we got (Go, Go)

You say we can fix this, but I know it’s a lie (I know)
Tryna hold on while the spark’s runnin' dry
I could stay, pretend, and fake that it’s right (Fake it)
But I’d rather leave than stifle in the fight

You’re beggin’ me to stay like it’s some kind of cure (It's not)
But love’s not a cage, I need something pure
So I’m walkin’ away, doin’ you a favor (OH yeah)
You’ll thank me later, or maybe never

(You’ll thank me later, or maybe never!!)

(Maybe Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrr!)

[Pre-Chorus]
This ain’t what love’s supposed to be
I’m cuttin’ loose, gotta set you free

(Gotta set you freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!)

[Chorus]
I’m doin’ this ‘cause I love you, don’t you see?
Rippin’ us apart before we both break free
You think stayin’ close means holdin’ on tight (It's not)
But love’s lettin’ go when it’s crushin' the fight
I’m doin’ this ‘cause I love you, not out of spite
You can keep the pieces, I don’t need the fight

(Maybe Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrr!)

(Maybe Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrr!)

(Maybe Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrr!)

[Verse 2]
You act like I’m selfish for steppin’ aside (But why?)
But clingin’ to ruins ain’t love, it’s pride (Yep)
We’re buried in silence, can’t you hear? (Silence)
I’m leavin’ now before we disappear

Yeah, I’m the villain in your little play (Bad guy)
But I’m savin’ us both by walkin’ away (Let me go my way)
Hold your grudges, talk your talk
But you’ll see it clear once I’m off the clock (I'm out)

This ain’t hate, this ain’t rage, it’s just cold truth
I’m shuttin’ the door on this wasted youth (Closed)
So here’s my goodbye, take it or leave
I’m out the door, and I can finally breathe

(Take it or leaveeee!)

(I can finally breatheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!)

(I can finally)

(Maybe Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrr!)

(Maybe Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrr!)

[Hook]
Leavin’ you, yeah, I’m breakin’ these chains
Lettin’ go while the love remains

(I don’t need the fight)

Leavin’ you, yeah, I’m breakin’ these chains
Lettin’ go while the love remains

[Chorus]
I’m doin’ this ‘cause I love you, don’t you see?
Rippin’ us apart before we both break free
You think stayin’ close means holdin’ on tight (It's not)
But love’s lettin’ go when it’s crushin' the fight
I’m doin’ this ‘cause I love you, not out of spite
You can keep the pieces, I don’t need the fight

(I don’t need)

(The fighttttttttttttttt!)

[Post-Chorus]
This ain’t what love’s supposed to be
I’m cuttin’ loose, gotta set you free

(Gotta set you freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!)
