Before You Abandon Me
[Style]
Acoustic, Soft Rock, Indie Pop Ballad
[Lyrics]
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I can see it in your drifting eyes,
The way you smile but don’t reply.
Every word now feels rehearsed,
Every silence, somehow worse.
I stayed too long inside the ache,
Waiting for the heart you wouldn’t remake.
And though your lips won’t say goodbye,
Your distance does, each time you try.
[Chorus]
Before you abandon me, better I go away.
Before love turns cruel in the light of day.
I won’t wait here to be slowly erased,
So before I break, I’ll walk away with grace.
Before you abandon me… better I go away.
[Verse 2]
I gave you all the best of me,
Now I’m just a shadow you don’t see.
No need for tears, no final f***t,
Just empty space where there was light.
You didn’t leave—but you’re not here.
Your presence now is what I fear.
So I’ll take back what’s left of pride,
And close the door from the other side.
[Chorus]
Before you abandon me, better I go away.
Before your silence has too much to say.
I won’t beg to be the one you choose,
I’ve learned some loves are meant to lose.
Before you abandon me… better I go away.
[Bridge]
Not with anger, not with blame,
Just too tired to play this game.
Not a villain, not a saint—
Just a soul too worn to wait.
[Final Chorus]
Before you abandon me, better I go away.
Let my leaving be the words you couldn’t say.
I’ll carry peace, not scars or shame,
Leaving before you forget my name.
Before you abandon me… better I go away.
[Outro]
