Joe Marcus "Quite goodbye"

Halfway love… is no love. A quiet goodbye. Not anger… not blame. Just the moment you realize love needs two. A quite goodbye.

Lyrics I loved you under borrowed light, Glow that softened every line, I carried storms you called your life, Said patience was a sign. I bent my days around your fire, Called endurance ‘being kind’, But love that asks you to disappear, Isn’t love; it’s time on loan. You said you couldn’t give me more, Said you couldn’t ever change, Asked me to stay and call it fate, While I paid the ache. You kept your ground, I moved my feet, That balance never learned my name, I was faithful to the waiting, You were faithful to escape. I don’t want a spell or borrowed fire, Blue eyes fading in the rain, I want grace that walks beside me, Not concern that keeps its chains. I don’t need to win, I don’t need blame, I just need solid ground, Give me rhythm, give me kindness, Give me love that stays around. I saw the years upon your face, Time spoke honest, soft but clear, No anger there, no broken scene, Just something finished standing near. I said my nights are blues and whisky, Dance with shadows of our past, With every tear I shed for you, It’s love that’s destined not to last. I don’t want a spell or borrowed fire, Blue eyes fading in the rain, I want grace that walks beside me, Not concern that keeps its chains. I don’t need to win, I don’t need blame, I just need solid ground, Give me rhythm, give me kindness, Give me love that stays around. And here I stand with my broken heart, Holding dreams that slipped away, You taught me about borrowed time, In the silence, love won’t stay. But baby, I’ll rise from this storm, With every bruise, I’ll find my way, To love that whispers in the night, Not love that steals the day. So take this borrowed light and go, I’m done with shadows and their plays, I’ll find my way, I’ll learn to stand, For love that decides to stay. Give me rhythm, give me kindness, Love that’s real within the sound, For I don’t need a borrowed fire, Just a love that’s solid ground.
