if there’s one thing I know,
it’s when to let things go
there’s no one better at self-preservation, believe me...
I know just how these doors work.
so you got inside my walls
[did you notice] I tried to make myself
as good a home as I thought you deserved?
and for years, I thought I’d been strong enough
[or,] at least, I’d hoped to be
but I guess I was wrong
so here’s the keys;
just keep them safe.
I’m gonna need them one day,
if I decide it’s safe to come back.
until then, do me this favor:
it’ll mean a lot to me
if you lock up behind you,
cause I’m leaving.
