{Verse 1} You slammed the door, you needed space, I watched forever cross your face. You said, “We’ll talk,” but all I heard Was every single goodbye word. My phone stayed quiet, five whole minutes, Somehow my mind put sirens in it. One little fight, one little flame, And nothing in me stayed the same. {Pre-Chorus} You say, “We’ll fix this in the morning,” But morning feels a mile away. My head keeps writing different endings, While you’re just trying to find the words to say. {Chorus} Why does every fight feel like the last? Why’s my heart beating way too fast? You’re still here, but I can’t see Past every fear inside of me. I know you’re not the enemy, But my mind turns love to tragedy. I’m begging the noise to let me breathe, ’Cause losing you feels like losing me. {Verse 2} I read between the lines you never wrote, Turn every pause into a ghost. I hear you sigh, I hear defeat, Even when you’re holding me. You tell me, “Baby, look at me.” I try, but fear won’t let me see. I hate the girl I am sometimes When panic starts to steal my mind. {Bridge} I don’t need perfect, I need time. I need my thoughts to fall in line. I wish my heart would learn the truth: Not every storm is proof of losing you. So if I cry, if I shut down, If my whole world comes crashing down, Please know beneath the tears and doubt, Love never was what I wanted out. {Final Chorus} Why does every fight feel like the end? Like I won’t see your face again? I know tomorrow we might heal, But tonight the hurt just feels so real. So hold my hand when I forget That not every goodbye’s been said. I’m learning love can stay sometimes, Even after harder nights. {Outro} Maybe one day I’ll hear, “We’ll be okay,” And believe every word you say. Until then, I’ll keep trying too… To let my fear stop speaking over you.
