If you ever get tired of us, if this love starts to fade,
Please don\u2019t leave me wondering in the shade.
I\u2019m not asking for much, just for the truth,
Because silence cuts deeper than any wound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you find someone who makes you feel better,
Someone who treats you like you matter,
I\u2019d rather hear it from you, not guess it,
I\u2019d rather know than feel distant, bit by bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t give me a silent goodbye, please don\u2019t shut me out,
Don\u2019t make me wonder what this love\u2019s about.
If you\u2019re ready to leave, just say the word,
Even though it\u2019ll hurt, I deserve to be heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t want to wake up one day and realize,
That I\u2019ve been alone in a love built on lies.
That you\u2019ve already moved on, but never told me,
Leaving me stuck in a dream, when you\u2019ve broken free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If things change, if your heart\u2019s no longer in it,
Let me know before you drift away bit by bit.
Don\u2019t let the silence tear us apart,
I\u2019d rather hear the truth, even if it breaks my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t want to be the one holding on,
To something that\u2019s already gone.
So if you ever feel the need to move on,
Just tell me, don\u2019t make me guess what\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not here to beg, or plead for love,
I just want to know where we stand, what\u2019s above.
If I\u2019m no longer your choice, just say it clear,
So I don\u2019t waste time on what\u2019s no longer here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Communication is all I ask for,
Don\u2019t leave me wondering if you\u2019ll walk out the door.
I\u2019d rather face the truth, face the pain,
Than deal with the silence driving me insane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to be with someone who\u2019s here to stay,
But if you\u2019re not, it\u2019s okay to walk away.
Just don\u2019t leave me hanging in a space,
Where I think we\u2019re together but you\u2019ve left the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if you find someone who makes you feel more,
Or if you\u2019re just tired, worn out to the core,
Please tell me, don\u2019t leave me in the dark,
Let\u2019s end it with words, not with missing sparks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d rather know than be left behind,
I want to move forward with peace of mind.
So if you\u2019re ready to let go, let me know,
Don\u2019t make me hold onto something that\u2019s lost its glow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In case you decide to move on, be real with me,
Let\u2019s face the truth, even if it\u2019s hard to see.
I don\u2019t want to find myself alone in this space,
Thinking you\u2019re here when you\u2019ve already left the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just tell me when it\u2019s time to say goodbye,
Don\u2019t leave me with unanswered questions why.
Let\u2019s keep it honest, keep it clear,
So I know when to hold on, and when to disappear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
