I've heard the hardest part of all

Is being forgotten by those you love

To be forgotten, to be erased, to no longer be enough

And so the heart cries but I can't blame you nor hate you

It's not your fault that there was no more room for me in your life

 

God tells me that I need to leave

You've already let go

But it hurts so much to just turn away walk away

And pretend like I don't care- no

You don't need me anymore like I need you

It hurts so much to say

I can't stay

 

I can't stay no matter how much I want to

I can't keep holding on like this

When there is nothing to even hold on to

Maybe you've been gone for some time and I've just been too blind to see

How could I have ever let someone in so close when in the end they just hurt me

 

But God tells me that I need to leave

You've already let go

But it hurts so much to just turn away walk away

And pretend like I don't care- no

You don't need me anymore like I need you

It hurts so much to say

Goodbye,

I can't stay

 

I can't stay I've been told

I can't stay time is getting old

I can't stay I've already been cut from the ties there's nothing left to hold

 

I couldn't stay so I had to go
