Lyrics
Watching your heart break
Knowing all I had to do
Was to reach out for your hand
And say that I love you
When we parted ways
It was not for lack of love
There was nothing but raw emotion
Behind that velvet glove
Bridge:
Just one step away
And it's one I want to test
Could everything be different
If only I answer that text
Chorus:
Doing right by you
Now seems to mean doing you wrong
No matter what you said
To be kind had to be strong
Pretend that I'm not dyin'
Like it meant nothing instead
The hardest thing I ever did
Was leave you left on read
I know that you love me
Would give anything to get on track
You do not understand why I
Can't even send a message back
It's not because I don't want to
That I didn't or don't still care
It's that very same sweet emotion
Running through the veins we share
Bridge:
Just one step away
And it's one I want to test
Could everything be different
If only I answer that text
Chorus:
Doing right by you
Now seems to mean doing you wrong
No matter what you said
To be kind had to be strong
Pretend that I'm not dyin'
Like it meant nothing instead
The hardest thing I ever did
Was leave you left on read
Went our separate paths before
Because it had to be this way
Some things in life we can't change
Even if we're not ok
The more we talk the more you'll hurt
To get that pain out your head
No matter what I want to send
I've gotta leave you left on read
Chorus:
Doing right by you
Now seems to mean doing you wrong
No matter what you said
To be kind had to be strong
Pretend that I'm not dyin'
Like it meant nothing instead
The hardest thing I ever did
Was leave you left on read
