[Verse 1]
I fold your letters in a kitchen drawer
Beside the keys you never came back for
The kettle clicks, the apartment stays
And every room remembers different days
[Pre-Chorus]
You dressed the wound in promises
Then called the bleeding mine
I kept defending what you broke
Until I lost the line
[Chorus]
My heart is broken, but it still beats
Under the dust of our old sheets
You left your torment in my name
Turned every tender word to blame
I feel empty, sad, and hurt
Still wearing pieces of your world
But somewhere past this ruined view
There was a life before I knew you
[Verse 2]
I miss the person I was before
The one who sang while sweeping the floor
Who bought red shoes for no occasion
Who trusted love without negotiation
[Pre-Chorus]
Now morning enters quietly
Like it is afraid of me
I count the hours one by one
And practice how to breathe
[Chorus]
My heart is broken, but it still beats
Under the dust of our old sheets
You left your torment in my name
Turned every tender word to blame
I feel empty, sad, and hurt
Still wearing pieces of your world
But somewhere past this ruined view
There was a life before I knew you
[Bridge]
If living is a staircase
I am resting on the stone
Not healed, not lost forever
Just learning to go on alone
The lies can keep their echo
The evil can keep its throne
I will gather what is left of me
And make this body home
[Final Chorus]
My heart is broken, but it still beats
A quiet drum beneath these sheets
You left your torment in my name
But I refuse to carry blame
I feel empty, sad, and hurt
Yet I am more than what you burned
And somewhere past this ruined view
A life begins beyond you
[Outro]
Before I met you
I had a name
Before I met you
I loved the rain
I am still here
I am still here
