I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am close to being free
I am embarrassed by the shit that I used to put up with
I have to leave you
I have to leave you
Because I can’t shrink enough
Because I can’t be enough
Because I can’t walk on eggshells
Because they broke you so badly and I can’t love you back together again
I have to leave you because I used to be happier
Because I used to be happy
Because my mood was more constant
Because I had less anxiety
Because I slept through the night
I have to leave you
I love you less with each fight
