No More Midnight Calls

It's past midnight and I know this road

Every alone, most every maybe gets old

You call my name like you still hold the key

But I've been learning what's meant for me

I kept the light on, kept the door unlocked

Kept my heart open while your words were off

Now I can see what the silence means

I won't get living in between

I'm ending the cycle, I'm letting it go

When I'm waiting on a love that won't grow

I'm setting my boundaries and choosing my peace

I'd rather be whole than beg you to stay with me

No more empty promises, no more worn out lies

I'm done holding on to what never survives

If love is a shelter

Then give me the real

I'm choosing my peace over the way you made me feel

You first had faith but the hurt stayed near

I wore your patience like a mask for years

I′d be soon turning to another knight

Another reason to dim my light

I get the hope like a bruise in my chest

Mistaking survival for being blessed

Now I can hear what my truth has said

I'm not going back to where I bled

I'm ending the cycle, I'm letting it go

Remember waiting on a love that won't grow

I'm setting my boundaries, I'm choosing my peace

I'd rather be holding back you, would you stay with me?

No more empty promises, need more, more now lies

I'm done holding on to what

Never survives

If love is a shelter

Then give me the real

I'm choosing my peace over the way you made me feel

I forgive the girl who kept holding on

She was tired of being brave for too long

But I can't drown just to keep, ′cause I fall

I need calm in my heart, I need room to hope

I′m ending my cycle, I'm letting it go

No more waiting on a love that won′t grow

I'm setting my boundaries, I′m choosing my peace

I'd rather be whole than beg you to

Stay with me

No more empty promises

No more worn out lies

I′m done calling on to

What never survives

If love is a shelter

Then give me the real

From choosing my brief

Over the way you made me feel

Late night tension

But the truth is clear

I'm leaving the waiting

I'm releasing the fear
