Lyrics

[Intro : Optional soft synth pad ]

Verse 1

I’ve been hurt before

But not like this

I didn’t know pain

Could feel like it lives in my ribs

It sits in my chest

Won’t let me breathe

Feels like my heart

Is breaking quietly

Pre-Chorus

Then it hits me again

Out of nowhere, no warning signs

That you’re not coming back

And I can’t change your mind

Chorus

I didn’t know

Love could kill me slow

Every breath, every thought

Every night alone

I’ve been in pain before

But not this kind

I didn’t know

I could fall apart this deep inside

Verse

It hurts in my body

It hurts in my bones

I feel it when I wake up

And when I’m on my own

If this is grief

I wasn’t prepared

I didn’t know love

Could leave me right here

Pre-Chorus

If this is real

I don’t want it

If this is life

I don’t understand it

Chorus

I didn’t know

Love could kill me slow

Every breath, every thought

Every night alone

I’ve been in pain before

But not this kind

I didn’t know

I could fall apart this deep inside

[Bridge bare, breaking — piano + voice only]

I’d give anything

Just to hear your name

I’d carry the hurt

If it meant you stayed

I don’t wanna feel

This quiet scream

This kind of pain

That doesn’t feel real

[Final Chorus collapsed, restrained power]

I can’t breathe

I can’t see

How a world so loud

Feels empty to me

I call your name

It hits the ground

Like you were never even here right now

[Outro soft, devastating

I don’t know how to move

I don’t know how to stay

I just know the room is empty

And I can’t make it go away

I don’t want tomorrow

I don’t wanna be strong

All I need is you

Not to be gone
