Prompt / Lyrics
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
