If you’ve found someone else,
then please just let me know.
Don’t keep me here when your heart already beats
in someone else’s direction.
If by now you’ve discovered someone better for you,
then don’t hold on to me
just to ease your guilt.
Honestly, don’t pretend to love me
just to make yourself feel like the good one.
Because eventually, when I find out by myself,
and I always do,
it won’t just hurt…
it will shatter every part of me.
Besides, buying me things
won’t erase the truth you’re hiding.
At the same time, taking me out
while your thoughts are somewhere else
is not love.
In fact, it’s deception
wrapped in temporary affection.
If you really want to leave then leave.
But before you do, say it.
Say it clearly,
say it honestly,
the way grown-ups should.
Otherwise, I’ll keep building dreams
on the ruins of something you’ve already abandoned.
Don’t say you miss me
if you haven’t called in days.
Similarly, don’t say you’re hurting
if there’s no evidence you even tried.
Don’t promise me tonight
if tomorrow is already promised to someone else.
And above all, don’t say you love me
unless you actually mean it.
Lately, I can feel it…
I can feel you drifting.
Your words still live here,
but meanwhile, your heart has moved on.
I’m no longer your center.
Your attention, your affection,
they’ve both found a new home.
Rather than letting me discover that alone,
just tell me the truth.
Yes, it will sting.
However, the truth will set me free.
It will save us from wasting
our time, our energy, and what’s left of this love.
So if you don’t want this anymore,
I won’t force it.
After all, I can’t keep feeding love
to a heart that’s already full elsewhere.
I know,
the heart eats what it wants.
Therefore, I respect that.
All I ask is this:
respect me enough
to say goodbye
before you’re already gone.
