Prompt:

[Intro] Mm... yeah. I'm not calling. I'm just saying it. One last time. [Verse 1] I held out my hand with your bracelet in it, Your name on the silver, I swear I meant it. I said "Take it back, it's yours, it's not mine to keep," You looked at me, shook your head, and I felt the floor leave. Now it's on my dresser, catching light I don't want, Every little letter of your name is a ghost that I haunt. I can't give it back, I can't throw it away, So it sits there, heavy, like the words we didn't say. [Pre-Hook] And I keep running through it, Every room, every night, Wondering if I'd said it different, Would you have held on tight? [Hook] So this is my goodbye, my last goodbye, Message to my ex, and I'm not gonna cry. (Okay, maybe I'm gonna cry.) I hope you're laughing, I hope you're well, I hope you never feel the hell I felt. This is my goodbye, my last goodbye, You wouldn't take it back, so I'll let it ride. [Verse 2] You were the best thing and the hardest lesson, Two true things, and I'm still guessing If you knew how I fought, how I tried to hold on, Then you let me go without a single song. I'm not mad, I'm just tired, I'm just empty and low, Thank you for the good years, I just wish you'd let me know Why you wouldn't take the one thing that I had left of you, Like even that was something you were already through. [Pre-Hook] And I keep running through it, Every text I didn't send, Every "I'm fine" I told my friends Just to make it to the end. [Hook] So this is my goodbye, my last goodbye, Message to my ex, and I'm not gonna cry. I hope you're laughing, I hope you're well, I hope you never feel the hell I felt. This is my goodbye, my last goodbye, You wouldn't take it back, so I'll let it ride. [Verse 3, spoken, almost a whisper] I still know your coffee order, still know your favorite song, Still reach for my phone at night like nothing's wrong. I drove past your street last week, didn't even turn in, Just sat at the light and let the whole thing begin And end, all at once, in the space of a red, Then the green came on and I went home instead. That's growth, I guess. It just feels like grief. Nobody tells you healing looks like leaving. [Bridge, stripped down] Don't write back, don't call me, Let this be the end of the story. I'm not okay, but I'm gonna be, Walking home, just me. Just me. [Final Hook, slow, almost broken] So this is my goodbye, my last goodbye, Message to my ex, and I'm not gonna lie, I loved you more than I knew how to say, And I'm learning how to love myself the same way. This is my goodbye, my last goodbye, You wouldn't take it back, so I'll let it ride. [Outro] I'll keep your bracelet in a drawer, Not a wound, just a memory Of who we used to be. Goodbye... Goodbye. Mm... that's my message.
