Courage Hides

Been pacing by my window, phone cold in my hand,
Rehearsing what I’m gonna say, but none of it sounds planned.
She’ll ask me what went wrong again, I’ll freeze up like before,
Some things are hard to say when you can’t find the door.

We used to talk for hours, now every word feels strained,
The laughter turned to small talk, then silence unexplained.
She still means something to me, but love’s turned into fear,
So I’m breaking what we built, without standing near.

(Chorus)
If you’re too afraid to see her face,
And words just feel misplaced,
Don’t think that you’re the only one,
Who breaks things off and then can’t run.
The hardest truths are said alone,
When courage hides behind the phone.

I know it sounds like cowardice, calling her this way,
But seeing her in person—I’d never find the words to say.
She’s stronger than I ever was—she never needed me.
But I can’t take the fire when she turns it all on me.

She answers soft and gentle, like rain before the storm,
I tell her I’ve been drifting, the feeling’s not as warm.
Her breath catches quiet, disbelief within her tone,
“I knew this day would find us… I just wished we weren’t on the phone.”

Now the line goes silent, the night feels twice as long,
I stare at my reflection, wondering where I went wrong.
No tears, no shouting ending, just echoes in the tone—
Sometimes saying goodbye hurts worse when you’re alone.

(Chorus)
If you’re too afraid to see her face,
And words just feel misplaced,
Don’t think that you’re the only one,
Who breaks things off and then can’t run.
The hardest truths are said alone,
When courage hides behind the phone.
(Chorus)
If you’re too afraid to see her face,
And words just feel misplaced,
Don’t think that you’re the only one,
Who breaks things off and then can’t run.
The hardest truths are said alone,
When courage hides behind the phone.
When courage hides behind the phone.
