[Verse 1] It’s strange how that works This quiet collapse A bruise the size of a lifetime Hiding under small talk You stand at the edge of it This crater in your chest Feel the pull like deep water Pretend you’re only catching your breath [Chorus] So you peek at the wound From the corner of your eye Just a word Just a song Then you let it pass by It’s an abyss too vast And it’s hungry for you So you trace it in pieces Then you choke on the truth [Verse 2] You remember his laughter How it carried through the room How the air got lighter How your walls made room How your heart misstepped Every time he came near How your edges went gentle Like you’d never known fear [Chorus] So you peek at the wound From the corner of your eye Just a word Just a song Then you let it pass by It’s an abyss too vast And it’s hungry for you So you touch it in flashes Then you run from the view [Bridge] You say “I’m fine I’m fine” As you stare at the floor Afraid that one honest look Would open a hidden door (oh no) [Chorus] So you peek at the wound From the corner of your eye Just a word Just a song Then you let it pass by It’s an abyss too vast And it’s swallowing you So you look away quickly ’cause you know it’s all true
