Verse 1 You still live in the corners of my apartment, In the songs I skip, in the clothes that I don’t wear. I’ve been making peace with the quiet, But it still sounds like you’re there. Everybody says time gets honest, Then why’s it lying to me? ‘Cause every stranger’s got your smile, Every goodbye steals my sleep. Pre-Chorus I keep writing texts I’ll never send, Talking to a version of you that only lives in my head. Chorus You left your fingerprints all over my soul, Now every love feels borrowed, never whole. I’m tired of chasing echoes through these empty rooms, Trying to find us in the smoke when the fire’s through. If you ever think of me, don’t call… Just let the memory be enough. ’Cause I survived losing you, Even if I still wake up with your name on my tongue. Verse 2 I learned that closure doesn’t always knock, Sometimes it slips away without a warning. I was watering flowers in a house already burning, Praying we’d bloom while the walls kept turning. You were my favorite kind of chaos, Beautiful enough to make me ignore the damage. Now I’m learning love shouldn’t feel like surviving, It should feel like landing. Bridge Maybe we were two tides, Always meeting, never staying. Maybe I held on so tight, I forgot that love isn’t begging. Final Chorus So I’ll leave the light off this time, Stop waiting for footsteps that aren’t mine. You can keep the promises we couldn’t save, I’ll keep the lessons they became. If my heart ever finds another home, I hope it doesn’t mistake peace for something it’s about to lose.
