Days went by like heavy rain I kept waiting for the hurt to change Thought time would come and take your name But it still sounds the same Months turned into empty rooms I learned to live around the bruise Smiling when I had to choose Like I had something left to lose And everybody says it fades But they don’t know the quiet ways A heart can break and still behave Like it’s not buried in a grave I’m numb to love I don’t feel the spark I let people close But I keep them in the dark I don’t know if I’ll find it again I don’t know if I’ll heal in the end I keep asking the mirror If I’m broken forever Years went by and I survived But surviving isn’t feeling alive I learned to laugh, I learned to lie Say I’m fine and mean it half the time I don’t miss you every second now But when it hits, it still knocks me down Like some ghost that never moved out Still living somewhere in this house And I hate that I still compare Every hand to when you were there Every promise feels like a dare Every “I love you” sounds unfair I’m numb to love I don’t trust the start I hear sweet words And wait for the part Where they leave, where it ends Where I’m alone again I keep asking the mirror If I’m broken forever Maybe I’m scared Maybe I’m tired Maybe my heart Burned out in the fire Maybe love comes But I won’t know how To hold it gently Without looking down Maybe someday I’ll feel something new Without searching for pieces That look like you But tonight I’m still here Still trying to remember If broken hearts heal Or stay broken forever I’m numb to love But I still want to believe That somewhere there’s a version Of me who can breathe I don’t know if I’ll find it again I don’t know if I’ll heal in the end But I’m still asking the mirror Am I broken forever? Am I broken forever? Or just broken right now? Am I broken forever? Or still learning how?
