[Intro – whispered, echoing] I told the truth… and silence answered back. ⸻ [Verse 1] I laid my heart down, trembling in my hands, Spoke the words I thought you’d understand. But the night grew colder, no fire in your eyes, Only distance wrapped in quiet goodbyes. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Every breath feels heavier, When love becomes a stranger. ⸻ [Chorus] It hurts like this— to love and not be seen, To bleed inside a dream that never wanted me. It hurts like this— the truth I can’t undo, I gave my soul away but it was never you. ⸻ [Verse 2] Your kindness cut sharper than a blade, Soft words, but the meaning never stayed. You built a wall with every tender sound, And I was left alone on the battleground. ⸻ [Bridge – spoken, over glitchy synths] “You don’t have to carry me… I’ll learn how to carry this pain. Even in ruins, my heart still remembers the fire.” ⸻ [Final Chorus – layered harmonies, cinematic] It hurts like this— to love and not be seen, To bleed inside a dream that never wanted me. It hurts like this— but I’ll rise from the fall, Even broken wings still try to fly through it all. [Outro – whispered, fading] “…it just hurts like this.”
