[Verse 1] You talk about next summer Like you already see me there You ask where this is going And I pretend I’m not scared You say we could find a place Maybe make this something real And all I hear is every promise That somebody used to make me feel [Pre-Chorus] The closer you get The louder it gets That old voice saying “Remember what love did in the past” [Chorus] So I leave before you leave me I run before you can I break it while you still love me Before you change your plans I know you didn’t hurt me I know you haven’t lied But I’d rather be the one who ends it Than be the one left behind So I leave before you leave me [Verse 2] You keep asking what went wrong And I wish I had something to blame Because you’ve been nothing but good to me And somehow that makes it worse again I know this isn’t fair to you I know I’m making fear decide But every time love starts feeling safe I start looking for goodbye [Pre-Chorus 2] You’re talking about forever I’m already rehearsing my goodbye [Chorus] So I leave before you leave me I run before you can I break it while you still love me Before you change your plans I know you didn’t hurt me I know you haven’t lied But I’d rather be the one who ends it Than be the one left behind [Bridge – stripped back] The worst part is I still want you I still want the future I’m running from Maybe you would stay Maybe you mean it Maybe this is the one time I don’t run away [Final Chorus] I leave before you leave me Even when my heart tells me to stay I turn love into an ending Before you get the chance to walk away I know you didn’t break me But I’m making you pay the price For every promise someone else made Before you walked into my life So if you think I stopped loving you That was never really true I left because losing you later Scared me more than losing you now [Outro – quiet] My hand is on the door Just like every time before But tonight I’m standing still And for once I’m not so sure Maybe leaving keeps me safe Maybe staying scares me more But if I walk away from you I’ll never know for sure What we could’ve been © 2026 Pedro Aleixo / Forgotten Confessions
