Met you when I was just a kid Didn’t know then what love would be Eight years later, we fell into it Felt like fate was holding me We built a life, brick by brick Tied our dreams in tangled threads I thought you were my forever But forever’s something you forgot Now I’m standing in a house too quiet Breathing air that don’t feel right How do I start when I’ve never been On my own—just me? I’ve known you forever I gave you two decades The man I trusted was just a face I’m drowning in silence, in spaces too wide Alone for the first time in this life Your love was a lie wrapped up in years Secrets whispered in the dark I was faithful, I was blind While you were tearing us apart You left me ghosting through my days Your shadow heavy in my veins How do I walk when I’ve never known Any path but yours? I’ve known you forever I gave you two decades The man I trusted was just a face I’m drowning in silence, in spaces too wide Alone for the first time in this life You stole the love, you burned the trust You turned forever into dust But anger fades, the storm will pass And I’ll learn to stand at last Maybe I’ll fall, maybe I’ll break Maybe I’ll lose myself in this place But maybe, just maybe— I’ll find my way I’ve known you forever, but I’ll let you go I’ll write my story on my own Drowning in silence, but I’ll learn to breathe For the first time, I’ll learn to be me Met you when I was just a kid Didn’t know then what love would be Now I walk this road alone And maybe that was meant for me
