The Anfield hero is leaving the club this summer for Los Angeles Galaxy after being a Red his whole career.
And the 34-year-old says he's lost the motivation having become a squad player, rather than a guaranteed starter.
Brendan Rodgers sat him down at the beginning of the season and made it clear he would no longer be a regular - and that helped Gerrard decide to leave.
"I think the signs this year were that I'm going to become a squad player, play less - I'm going to come on as a sub and the buzz changes," Gerrard said.
"For me, I go to work on a Monday morning and I look forward to Saturday, to prepare to go to battle with some wonderful people - with good mates - and that's my buzz.
"When a manager gets you into the office and says that's going to change and it's going to become more limited - that's when you make your decision.
"It's not a selfish thing; coming on as a sub's just not the same buzz. So things have changed this year - and there were signs that it’s the right time to go.”
