I saw your shadow leave my door
You didn’t slam it, didn’t say much more
Just a quiet “take care” in your eyes
Like love was something we outgrew with time
Your clothes still hang inside my room
Your laughter echoes every afternoon
I smile like I’m stronger than I am
But nights still break me where I stand
Pre-Chorus
I said I’m fine, yeah I always do
But every song still sounds like you
Chorus
We were almost forever, almost enough
Almost the kind of love they write about
I let you go, but it tears me up
‘Cause I still choose you when I give up
You found someone, I found the floor
Where I sit and blame my heart for wanting more
You moved on like it was easy to do
I stayed behind loving the ghost of you
Verse 2
Your name still lights up in my phone
But I don’t call, I’ve learned to be alone
I rehearse words I’ll never say
Like “Do you miss me on your worst days?”
I act like healing’s just a phase
Like time can wash your touch away
But some scars don’t fade, they stay
They just learn how to hide in place
Pre-Chorus
I wish unloving you was true
But every goodbye feels brand new
Chorus
We were almost forever, almost enough
Almost the kind of love that never gives up
I let you go, but I’m still stuck
In all the promises we never broke
You found peace in somebody’s arms
I found pain in remembering us
If loving you is what I lose
Then I guess I lost, but I still choose you
Bridge (Soft, stripped-down)
If I see you smiling in the crowd
I won’t stop, I won’t turn around
I’ll let you be happy, even if it’s not with me
That’s the last thing love taught me
Final Chorus
We were almost forever, and that’s the truth
Almost everything I wanted was you
I hope he holds you when nights fall apart
The way I failed to from the start
So this is me, learning to breathe
Without your hand right next to me
I’ll love you quietly, from afar
You were my home, now you’re my scar
Outro
Some loves don’t end with goodbye
They just live softly… inside
