I have one foot out the door and one there's one that wants to stay
I never thought I would feel trapped this way.
And again our past comes full circle and slaps us in the face.

I've shed my skin with you so much, I don't remember who I was before.
I don't need to. I couldn't have asked for more.
But you put your nose to the grindstone and I disappeared for you.

This is a love letter.
It's a thank you note.
And a goodbye card I should have written way back.
One I've been avoiding.

It's hard to leave something that felt so safe
My wings are dusty but they aren't clipped, I was just grounded by your voice

Thank you for the lessons your love has taught me
And the way your voice is home
But this isn't right and I think we both know it.
I leave you, changed.
