Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My life
My life
I thought it was better
My life
My life
So I thought it was better
Oh
I thought my life was better
Because I had a happy family
Laughing in a too-small kitchen
Spilling sugar
Burning tea
But my parents were alive then
And the house felt full of light
Now I talk to empty chairs
Late at night
[Chorus]
My life
My life
I thought it was better
Held together by their hands
Like a favorite sweater
My life
My life
Came apart at the center
When the phone rang
When it shattered
I learned “forever” is just a letter
[Verse 2]
I still set two extra places
Out of habit
Out of hope
Hear my father in my phrases
See my mother in my coat
I scroll old blurry pictures
Till the colors start to fade
Trying to step back into
Every ordinary day
[Chorus]
My life
My life
I thought it was better
Held together by their hands
Like a favorite sweater
My life
My life
Came apart at the center
Now I’m stitching what is left
Slow and tender
Stitch by letter
[Bridge]
If I close my eyes
They’re laughing
If I speak their names
They’re near
Every breath I take now happens
In the shadow of those years
[Chorus]
My life
My life
It’s broken
But it’s beating
Every memory cuts and heals
In the same uneven rhythm
My life
My life
I thought it was better
Now I carry who they were
In each step
A little steadier

Moody acoustic pop with close-mic male vocals, soft fingerpicked guitar, and a subtle, pulsing kick. Verses feel confessional and raw; chorus blooms with airy harmonies and a warm pad underneath. Gentle build across the song, ending on an intimate, almost whispered refrain., happy
