I used to wait by the phone like it owed me something
Like silence had a reason I just hadn’t cracked yet
I kept saying “maybe,” like maybe was a plan
Like holding on halfway still counted as holding hands

You said “give it time,” I gave it months and nights
Turns out time doesn’t fix what won’t show up right
I know how this sounds, yeah, I’ve heard it before
But I’m not confused anymore

I don’t hate you
I don’t miss you like that
I just finally noticed
What I was doing to myself

I’m done explaining
Why I needed more
I’m done pretending
This was love, not a chore
I’m not breaking
I already broke through
I’m done explaining
I’m done with you

I’m done explaining
I said what I said
This isn’t anger
It’s clarity instead
I’m not leaving
I already left
I’m done explaining
I chose myself

We had good moments, sure, I won’t deny
But good moments aren’t a reason to stay
I was tired of translating what I meant
Into words you’d forget by the next day

You always said I was “asking too much”
Funny how “too much” was just showing up
I don’t need closure talks or final fights
This is me closing it, in real time

No more circles
No more almosts
No more late-night
“What are we?” nonsense

I’m done explaining
Why I needed more
I’m done pretending
This was love, not a chore
I’m not breaking
I already broke through
I’m done explaining
I’m done with you

I’m done explaining
I said what I said
This isn’t bitterness
It’s peace instead
I’m not healing
I already did
I’m done explaining
This is it

I don’t need a villain
I don’t need regret
Some stories end
Because they’re finished, not cuz they’re bad
I don’t replay it
I don’t rewind
I don’t owe you access
To the rest of my life

I’m done explaining
I’m done explaining
I’m done explaining
So don’t ask again

I’m done explaining
I’m done explaining
I’m done explaining
This is where it ends

I’m done explaining
Why I needed more
I’m done pretending
I was unsure
I’m not lonely
I’m finally free
I’m done explaining
That’s the whole story

Yeah, I meant it.
No hidden meaning.
No second verse.
I’m done explaining.


I’m Done Explaining (Freedom)
