Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
We built a house on promises we barely understood
Filled the rooms with everything we thought a good love should
But somewhere in the quiet, past the arguments and blame
Two people learned that love and habit aren't the same
[verse]
It's not the shouting, not the slamming of a door
It's the slow retreat of something felt before
We gave each other years, we gave each other trust
And still the fire that we built collapsed to dust
[chorus]
And it's no sacrifice, just a simple sad goodbye
No villain in this story, no reason and no why
Sometimes the truest kindness is to let each other go
It's no sacrifice at all, it's just the hardest thing to know
[verse]
I'll keep the good part folded like a letter in a drawer
The mornings and the laughter that we're not chasing anymore
There's no revenge in leaving, there's no winner in this fight
Just two tired hearts still trying to do right
[chorus]
And it's no sacrifice, just a simple sad goodbye
No villain in this story, no reason and no why
Sometimes the truest kindness is to let each other go
It's no sacrifice at all, it's just the hardest thing to know
[bridge]
So take the road that calls you, I'll take mine
We'll carry what was good and leave the rest behind
No blame between us, only distance now
[chorus]
And it's no sacrifice, just a simple sad goodbye
No villain in this story, no reason and no why
Sometimes the truest kindness is to let each other go
It's no sacrifice at all, it's just the hardest thing to know
