(I thought this was over) (I thought this was gone) (Nothing has really changed) (I just want to dieeeeeeee!!) [Verse 1] I said, I’m good now I wore that grin like proof Walked around the wreckage Like it never touched the roof He said, pain moves on If you keep your face straight So I hid the bleeding And called the ache fate [Pre-Chorus] But the mirror kept a record Every crack, every line I was nodding through the hurt While it grew inside [Chorus] It was only an illusion A hand-drawn kind of peace I was reaching for the ending But the ending wasn’t me Every lesson turned to smoke Every promise turned to dust What I called moving on Was a trick I learned too young [Verse 2] I cleaned up the timeline Put the hard days in a box Told myself I’d outgrow it Told myself a lot But quiet in my chest Kept tapping on the door Like a name I wouldn’t answer Still lying on the floor [Pre-Chorus] And the room kept getting smaller When I tried to act fine I was folding up the truth Just to call it mine [Chorus] It was only an illusion A hand-drawn kind of peace I was reaching for the ending But the ending wasn’t me Every lesson turned to smoke Every promise turned to dust What I called moving on Was a trick I learned too young [Bridge] Now I’m letting it be seen Let the ache say what it wants Not every scar is failure Not every silence is a front If I tremble, I’m still here If I break, I’m still mine Truth looks less like winning More like staying in the light [Chorus] It was only an illusion A hand-drawn kind of peace I was reaching for the ending But the ending wasn’t me Every lesson turned to smoke Every promise turned to dust What I called moving on Was a trick I learned too young [Outro]
