don’t live here anymore

female vocals soft rock ballad surf rock romantic anthemic catchy hook

I still say “we” when I mean “me”
Still set two plates out half asleep
And I hate how my hands keep reaching
For a love that won’t reach back to me

[Pre-Chorus]
You said “it’s not that deep”
But it’s deep enough to drown
And you said “you’ll be okay”
Like you didn’t put me down

[Chorus]
Now I don’t live here anymore
Not in my skin, not in my bones
You took the light out of my chest
And left me trying to feel at home
I’m breathing but I’m not alive
I’m smiling but it’s just a show
‘Cause you were my “forever”
And you let me go like I was nothing
Like I was nothing to hold

[Verse 2]
I packed your name into a box
With all the promises you forgot
I tried to throw it all away
But my heart keeps dragging it back

I still defend you to my friends
Like losing you was my amends
Like I deserved the way you vanished
Like love was something I had to earn

[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep checking for a sign
Like you’ll come back and change your mind
But the only thing you ever gave me
Was silence dressed up as “I’m fine”

[Chorus]
Now I don’t live here anymore
Not in my skin, not in my bones
You took the light out of my chest
And left me trying to feel at home
I’m breathing but I’m not alive
I’m laughing but it’s just for show
‘Cause you were my “forever”
And you let me go like I was nothing
Like I was nothing to hold

[Bridge] (breaking point / big emotional lift)
If love is meant to save you
Why did I feel so small?
I was screaming in the quiet
While you slept through it all

And maybe you don’t miss me
Maybe you never did
Maybe I was just a chapter
You got bored of in the middle of it

So tell me how you did it
How you turned your heart to stone
How you walked away so easy
Like I wasn’t your home

[Final Chorus] (big, destroyed, full belt)
Now I don’t live here anymore
Not in my skin, not in my bones
You took the air right out my lungs
And left me dying slow alone
I’m trying not to call your name
But it’s the only thing I know
‘Cause you were my “forever”
And you let me go like I was nothing…
Like I was nothing to hold

[Outro] (soft / shattered)
I keep pretending I’m okay…
But I don’t live here anymore ..
