Verse 1
Every night I lie awake in silence
While my heart is screaming out your name
I’m the only one still trying in this love
While you look at me like I’m to blame
I keep holding pieces of a broken home
Even when they cut into my hands
I give you everything I have left in me
But you don’t seem to understand
Pre-Chorus
Still I stay, I don’t know why
Even when I’m barely holding on
Hoping maybe you will change someday
Before everything is gone
Chorus
I’m just surviving in this love we made
Breathing through the pain I can’t escape
Smiling while I slowly fall apart
In a story where I lose my heart
I’m tired, but I can’t walk away
Scared of what tomorrow brings my way
So I stay here breaking piece by piece
In a love that never gives me peace
Verse 2
I’ve learned to cry without a sound
So you won’t notice I am drowning
I search for us in faded memories
But all I find is emptiness surrounding
I built my world around your name
Even when it slowly tore me down
Now I’m just a shadow in your life
Waiting to be noticed somehow
Bridge
How long do I keep pretending
That this is where I’m meant to be?
When loving you feels like losing
Every part of me I used to be
Final Chorus
I’m just surviving in this love we made
Fighting through a life that starts to fade
But now I see the truth I tried to hide
I’m disappearing deep inside
So I’m learning how to let you go
Even if it hurts more than you know
Because loving you shouldn’t feel like pain
It’s time I choose myself again
