Intro – clean, very soft]
I see your face in empty rooms,
Like something I forgot to lose.
Every word we never said
Still lives inside my head.
[Verse 1 – clean with slight grit]
I tried to bury what we were,
But it keeps crawling back to life.
You walked away like it was easy,
I stayed behind to pay the price.
I play your voice like it’s a habit,
Even though it cuts me deep.
I tell myself I’m over it,
But some things never sleep.
[Pre-Chorus – emotional build, restrained]
I don’t hate you, I don’t care,
That’s what I say, but it’s not fair.
I’m still standing in the place
Where you left me there.
[Chorus – melodic, emotional, Corey-style clean]
I let you go, but you stayed inside,
Like a shadow I can’t outrun.
I learned to smile, I learned to lie,
Saying I’m already done.
I let you go —
But part of me didn’t move on.
[Verse 2 – slightly darker, still controlled]
I burned the letters, kept the pain,
Funny how it feels the same.
Every road I try to take
Leads me back to your mistakes.
I’m not angry, I’m just tired,
Of pretending I don’t care.
You don’t miss me, that’s okay,
I miss who I was back there.
[Pre-Chorus 2 – stronger emotion]
I don’t need you, that’s the truth,
But I hate what this did to me.
You walked out and never looked back,
Now I’m stuck with the debris.
[Chorus – bigger, layered harmonies]
I let you go, but you stayed inside,
Like a shadow I can’t outrun.
I learned to smile, I learned to lie,
Saying I’m already done.
I let you go —
But part of me didn’t move on.
[Bridge – quiet, fragile, almost whispered]
Maybe someday this won’t hurt,
Maybe I’ll forget your name.
But tonight I’m still here
Carrying the weight.
[Final Chorus – emotional peak, open]
I let you go, I swear I tried,
But memories don’t obey.
I’m still alive, I’m still breathing,
Just learning how to walk away.
I let you go…
I just didn’t leave the same.
[Outro – soft, fading]
Some things die slow.
And stay.
