Verse 1 I can survive a slammed door I can live with a no Learn to breathe in the aftermath Of a dream letting go I can name every ending Put a reason to pain But the space where you didn’t answer Still calls out my name Pre-Chorus I replay the almosts Like they mattered somehow Every version of us That never made it out Chorus I can recover from rejection From the words you didn’t choose From the moments where I knew It was already doomed Yeah, I can heal from being unwanted Like a bruise that fades with time But you can never recover from the unknown From the answers you never find Verse 2 I’d rather you shattered me Left me nothing to save Instead of leaving me guessing If I walked away too soon or too late You left the door half open No goodbye, no truth Now I’m living in the echo Of what we never proved Pre-Chorus I stitched up the silence Tried to make it make sense But the quiet keeps asking What if you’d stayed instead Chorus I can recover from rejection From the fall, from the fear From the way your honesty Never quite appeared Yeah, I can heal from being unwanted Learn to say I’ll be fine But you can never recover from the unknown From the answers you never find Bridge If you’d broken me clean I’d have swept up the glass But you left me with questions And they cut deeper than that Every future unwritten Still pulls at my bones You don’t haunt me by leaving You haunt me by not knowing Break (soft, stripped) Tell me it wouldn’t have worked Tell me I wasn’t the one Just don’t leave me imagining What we could’ve become Final Chorus I can recover from rejection From the no that closed the door From learning how to live Without wanting more Yeah, I can heal from being unwanted From the truth you wouldn’t say But you can never recover from the unknown From the life that never played Outro You can heal from being unwanted You can walk away grown But you can never recover From the unknown
