Outro]
Last week’s still echoing heavy in my mind
I replay the way you smiled like nothing’s wrong, like we’re still aligned
You said “don’t overthink, we’re fine, it’s alright”
But the way your voice cracked kept me up all night
I can’t lie, it don’t sit right,
Every word I hold turns colder in the light
You brush it off, call it small, say it’s nothing to fear
But silence speaks louder than the words I hear
I’ve been caught between the lines, truth tangled in disguise
You look away quick but it’s still there in your eyes
You say “we’re good, we’re good” but it don’t feel true
I’m chasing ghosts of the love I knew
Every laugh feels borrowed, every touch feels staged
Like we’re actors in a story that’s already aged
Was it real last night or just pretend?
I can’t find the start, I can’t trace the end
I’m spinning in circles, reading signals wrong
Writing poems in the quiet where the hurt stays long
You make it seem simple, but it cuts too deep
My heart’s not resting, my head won’t sleep
I know we’ve gone separate, I know we’ve changed lanes
But the echoes of you still run through my veins.
