Let him be (night)

Verse 1

Phone is right there on the bed

I know the buttons I could press

I have wanted to for years

But wanting isn't what he says

I sent the add, he let it sit

No answer back, and that is it

Silence is a kind of answer too

So I'm gonna leave it up to you

Chorus

If he wanted to, he'd reach out

That's the truth I have to say out loud

Not my call, not my line to cross

Some things you win by letting lost

Let him be, let him be

Today I choose to let him be

Verse 2

The urge comes back like a wave

Strong at morning, gone by day

I can feel it and not obey

That feeling doesn't get a say

I don't need him back to grow

Some doors just stay closed, I know

The kindest thing I ever gave

Was the space I chose to save

Chorus

If he wanted to, he'd reach out

That's the truth I have to say out loud

Not my call, not my line to cross

Some things you win by letting lost

Let him be, let him be

Today I choose to let him be

Bridge — stripped back

I am not the villain here

I'm just a man who learned the score

Love is leaving what you can't repair

And walking quiet from the door

Final Chorus — full

If he wanted to, he'd reach out

That's the truth I have to say out loud

Not my call, not my line to cross

Some things you win by letting lost

Let him be, let him be

Today I choose to let him be
