Heartless

You said I'm acting different, but brought it up casually
'Cause you know confrontation scares the living hell out of me
And we talked through our options, but I didn't see any
'Cause my dream, it's always been right here in music city
And when my dad was helping me pack
As I was crying, he asked
"Are you sure?"

And I felt heartless, I felt selfish
Like maybe I'm making a mistake and I can't help it
Maybe I should stay, maybe I'm crazy
For trying to push myself out of my limits
And you didn't hurt me and nobody's screaming
I'm simply putting a box in a backseat
Holy shit, just 'cause I'm leaving
Doesn't mean I won't have regrets
Or that this breaks my heart less

I know I did the breaking up, and I should really own it
But I don't think I'm even allowed to be sad for a moment
But I've been crying for a week straight
Tryin' to convince myself I'm okay
It'll get easier one day, won't it?

And I felt heartless, I felt selfish
Maybe I'm making a mistake and I can't help it
Maybe I should stay, maybe I'm crazy
For trying to push myself out of my limits
You didn't hurt me and nobody's screaming
I'm simply putting a box in a backseat
Holy shit, just 'cause I'm leaving
Doesn't mean I won't have regrets
Or that this breaks my heart less

And how narcissistic of me
When I was the one who chose to leave
When this should be about you
And how you constantly prove
That you were too good to me

And I'm so heartless, I'm so selfish
For saying I'm making a mistake and I can't help it
Maybe I should stay, maybe I'm crazy
For trying to push myself out of my limits
You didn't hurt me and nobody's screaming
I'm simply putting a box in a backseat
But holy shit, just 'cause I'm leaving
Doesn't mean I won't have regrets
Or that this breaks my heart less
