[Intro] [Verse 1] There was a time I thought you were the answer Tried to arrange every piece just right But the closer I got, the more it felt off-center Like a song in the wrong key every night [Verse 2] It’s not that you were wrong, we just didn’t align Some things we forced till they lost their design I used to read every word, every sign Now I just choose to be me, and I’m fine [Pre-Chorus] Nobody’s ever okay all the time But silence don’t cut me up like your lines And I just realized, somewhere in the quiet Being alone ain’t as scary as I thought it might get [Chorus] The best part of living without you Is I don’t have to try anymore Don’t have to be someone else just to Keep from feeling like I fall short The world keeps turning without you Even with nobody right by my side And I finally get it now It’s a little more peaceful inside [Post-Chorus] (ooh… don’t have to fake it anymore) (yeah… just being me is enough) [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] (drop back slightly, but keep groove) Some nights get lonely, I won’t deny But loneliness don’t ask me to lie At least I don’t have to pretend I’m alright In a world that feels more honest without you inside [Bridge] Maybe “good” don’t always mean someone stays And walking away ain’t always a loss If peace of mind is all that I need Then letting you go was worth what it cost [Final Chorus] The best part of living without you Is I finally feel like myself Don’t have to filter every word I say Or be somebody else No fairytale love like before No pretty lines to hide behind But what I found in the end Is a heart that don’t have to try [Outro] Just being me… is enough
