A mid-tempo emotional pop ballad focusing on the painful decision to walk away from someone you love because the dynamic is breaking your spirit.
[Verse 1]
Midnight static on the telephone
You're crying out but I feel so alone
We're repeating history again tonight
Fighting for the sake of a losing fight
I love the way you laugh when the world is kind
But your storm is taking over my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's breaking me down to the bone
This house we built is no longer a home
I can't be the one who saves you from yourself
While I'm left sitting on a dusty shelf
[Chorus]
Oh, there's no way I can love you this way
With a price tag that I can't afford to pay
I love you to pieces but I'm falling apart
This heavy rotation is breaking my heart
I have to let go of the games that we play
Cause there's no way I can love you this way
[Verse 2]
We used to shine like a neon sign
Now I'm just trying to read between the lines
You want a savior, you want a cure
But I'm not strong enough to endure
The constant pull of your gravity
It's erasing every single part of me
[Bridge]
I hope you find the peace you're looking for
But I can't be your soldier in this war
I'm stepping out of the battle zone
Learning how to stand on my own
[Chorus]
Oh, there's no way I can love you this way
With a price tag that I can't afford to pay
I love you to pieces but I'm falling apart
This heavy rotation is breaking my heart
I have to let go of the games that we play
Cause there's no way I can love you this way
[Outro]
No way, no way
I'm letting go today
Cause there's no way I can love you this way
