**Verse 1**
I still sleep on your side of the bed
Like it might trick my body to forget
The weight of your hand on my ribs
The way you swore this was it
There’s a crack in the mirror now
Right where your face used to be
I don’t know who I am without you
Just a shadow staring back at me
**Pre-Chorus**
Every quiet corner of this house
Still sounds like your voice
And I replay the night you left
Like I had a choice
**Chorus**
You didn’t just leave, you took
Every steady part of me
Ripped the floor out from under my feet
And called it setting me free
Now I’m crawling through memories
Cutting my hands on the truth
You said love shouldn’t hurt like this
So why does it feel like you?
**Verse 2**
I tried to wash your scent from my skin
But it’s buried too deep in my bones
I carry you under my tongue
Like a prayer that’s already gone
Your laughter still echoes in halls
That don’t belong to you anymore
And I swear I can hear your keys
When I’m collapsed on the floor
**Pre-Chorus**
I thought if I gave you my heart
You’d at least leave half behind
But you took every beating piece
And left me with the silence
**Chorus**
You didn’t just leave, you tore
Through the marrow in my chest
Left me bleeding out in slow motion
With your name pressed to my lips
Now I’m gasping in empty rooms
Trying to breathe through the ache
If this is what love was meant to be
Why am I the one it breaks?
**Bridge (soft, trembling)**
Tell me how you walk away
Like we were just a phase
How you fold up years of us
And throw them into yesterday
I would’ve stayed through every storm
Every scar and bruise
But you decided I was something
You could afford to lose
**Final Chorus (cracked, desperate)**
You didn’t just leave, you shattered
Every version of my name
Turned “forever” into fragments
And set my world in flames
Now I’m screaming at the ceiling
But the ceiling doesn’t move
If love is supposed to save you
Why didn’t it save us too?
**Outro**
I don’t know how to unlove you.
I don’t know how to stand.
You broke me in a way
That doesn’t heal —
It just learns how to hurt quieter.
