Lyrics | Human Melodies | So I must go

So I must go

Hmm-mm-mm
All your promises

You swore and promised so many things
All that became nothing but moving lips
You said everything was going to be all fine
Yet nothing you said ever did align

My life became nothing but ash on flame
You feel entitled to come and reclaim
Then all is silence when you can’t lie
So I must go

You said we’d be alright, and I’d be safe
Instead, with all these words, you made me a slave
You broke so many things inside my mind
But now you can’t touch me, I’ll leave you behind

I sacrificed myself just to get all burned
You held the matches and said no word
Now is your time to argue with a silent ghost
I’m leaving you behind with nothing but smoke

My life became nothing but ash on flame
You feel entitled to come and reclaim
Then all is silence when you can’t lie
There’s nothing to say but a short goodbye
So I must go

So I must go
So I must go
So I must go

My life became nothing but ash on flame
You feel entitled to come and reclaim
Then all is silence when you can’t lie
There’s nothing to say but a short goodbye
So I must go

Hmm-mm-mm
And all your lies
With you they stay

Song info

A powerful breakup song about escaping a relationship built on empty promises. The imagery of “ash on flame” represents Eliz’s destroyed sense of self, while the repeated “So I must go” emphasizes the necessity of leaving for self-preservation.
