Breaking Hearts

Verse 1
The house still sounds like you at night
Every floorboard knows your weight
I reach for you without thinking
Then remember you’re gone too late
Your cup is still by the sink
Like you might come back for it
I swear the smallest things
Are the ones that hit the hardest
Pre-Chorus
I keep rewriting the ending
Like it’ll change if I try
But every version still leaves me
Asking why
Chorus
You said love shouldn’t hurt like this
But it does, and it won’t let go
I’m breaking in all the quiet moments
You’ll never know
If this is what letting go is
I don’t know how to begin
‘Cause I didn’t just lose you
I lost who I was with you in it
Verse 2
Your name still lives in my phone
Like a ghost I can’t erase
I scroll through old conversations
Just to see your face
You promised me forever
Like it was something sure
Now I’m learning how fragile
That word really was
Pre-Chorus
I keep my heart in pieces
Just to feel in control
But every piece still points to you
Like it knows
Chorus
You said love shouldn’t hurt like this
But it’s cutting me in two
Every song, every streetlight
Still sounds like you
If moving on is healing
Then why do I feel so thin
‘Cause I didn’t just lose your love
I lost my best friend
Bridge
Maybe I loved you deeper
Than you ever knew
Maybe you stayed long enough
To watch me fall for you
Now I’m standing in the wreckage
Of what we almost were
Trying to forgive your leaving
And my hope for sure
Break (soft)
I would’ve stayed through the worst of it
You didn’t stay at all
Final Chorus
You said love shouldn’t hurt like this
But I’m drowning in the truth
That you’re fine, and I’m still here
Missing you
If time is supposed to save me
It’s taking its time again
‘Cause I didn’t just lose your heart
I lost my home
Outro
One day I’ll stop waiting
For footsteps that won’t come in
But tonight I’ll let it hurt
And call it healing
