Verse 1
I don’t think I care to try again
Not the way I did back then
Even if you showed up different
I don’t think I’d let you in
There’s a silence where the hope was
Something in me finally quit
I can hear you if you call me
But I won’t chase after it
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I gave you more than I should’ve
More than I had to lose
Kept bending till I broke myself
Just trying to hold onto you
⸻
Chorus
And I’m not angry anymore
I just don’t feel the same
We played our parts, we said our lines
But nothing ever changed
I tried to be what you needed
You couldn’t do the same
Some things don’t come back to life
Some things should stay in the grave
⸻
Verse 2
If you asked me, I’d still see you
But it wouldn’t mean a thing
Just a ghost of something broken
Standing where we used to be
Too much damage in the distance
Too much truth I can’t ignore
I don’t trust what feels like healing
When I’ve felt it all before
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I gave you too many chances
Watched them all fade away
At the time it felt worth holding
Now there’s nothing left to save
⸻
Chorus
And I’m not angry anymore
I just don’t feel the same
We played our parts, we said our lines
But nothing ever changed
I tried to be what you needed
You couldn’t do the same
Some things don’t come back to life
Some things should stay in the grave
⸻
Bridge (quiet, almost spoken)
I don’t hate you
I just see it clearly now
What we were
And what we never were allowed to be
I gave everything I had
And that has to be enough for me
⸻
Final Chorus (slightly bigger, but still restrained)
I’m not angry anymore
I just walked away
Some things only last a while
They were never meant to stay
I tried to hold it together
But it slipped through anyway
Some things are better off gone
Some things are better off dead
