Time Does Not Heal

No harsh words at the door, just a soft goodbye.
I turned my back, walked away, never knew it was last time.
They said you were gone later, like lightning in clear sky.
I stood there trying to breathe, asking how and asking why.

t’s been so many years since then, you’d think the ache would fade.
I learned to cook and laugh again, how to show up every day.
Time doesn’t heal like they say; it just gives you room to feel.
It’s what you do with all those days that teaches a heart to heal.

(Chorus)
They said, “Give it time, you’ll heal,” but that wasn’t true.
Time just gave me space to learn what my heart could do.
It’s every small choice when the pain feels real.
It’s not time alone, it’s what you do that heals.


More good days than the bad ones, more laughter than we had fights.
Old songs still bring back your smile, your jacket still fits just right.
I’m not stuck in that doorway now, but I still visit in my mind.
I hold the love and loss at once, and I leave the blame behind.

Some nights a song on the radio pulls me straight back to then.
A headline, a word, or passing face can open it all again.
I can work and I can carry on, but sometimes I still break.
I’m proof you don’t get over it, you just learn what steps to take.

(Chorus)
They said, “Give it time, you’ll heal,” but that wasn’t true.
Time just gave me space to learn what my heart could do.
It’s every small choice when the pain feels real.
It’s not time alone, it’s what you do that heals.

Bridge
I’ve seen the ripples hit the shore in every face that grieves.
I know the questions that don’t stop, and the lies your guilt believes.
I’ve walked this road for many years, and I’m still standing here.
It’s not that time erased the pain, I just grew around the fear.

(Chorus)
They said, “Give it time, you’ll heal,” but that wasn’t true.
Time just gave me space to learn what my heart could do.
It’s every small choice when the pain feels real.
It’s not time alone, it’s what you do that heals.
They said, “Give it time, you’ll heal,” but that wasn’t true.
Time just gave me space to learn what my heart could do.
It’s every small choice when the pain feels real.
It’s not time alone, it’s what you do that heals.
