Verse 1
I don't recognize the face staring back at me,
Dark circles and memories that never let me sleep.
The mirror tells a story that I wish wasn't true,
About a broken man I became after you.
Now every crowded room still feels empty somehow,
I fake another smile but I'm exhausted now.
My friends say I'm different, I tell them I'm okay,
But the truth gets harder to hide every day.
I keep all my feelings locked behind these walls,
Watching pieces of myself continue to fall.
I used to have a fire, I used to have a spark,
Now I'm just another shadow wandering through the dark.
Pre-Chorus
And every night I swear that I'll be alright,
But the silence gets louder when I turn out the lights.
I keep reaching for peace but it slips through my hands,
Like water through fingers I don't understand.
Chorus
What happened to the person I used to be?
The one who still believed tomorrow held something for me.
Now I'm stuck between healing and letting go,
Lost in the wreckage of a life I don't know.
Every road I take just leads me back again,
To the ghosts, the regrets, and the could-have-beens.
Tell me, when does the hurting finally end?
'Cause I've been fighting this battle and I don't think I can win.
Verse 2
I carry these memories like stones in my chest,
Trying to move forward but they won't let me rest.
The weight keeps getting heavier with every passing year,
And the things I tried to bury always reappear.
I keep hearing your name in the back of my mind,
Like a wound that keeps opening no matter the time.
Everybody says healing comes eventually,
But right now that feels like a lie they tell me.
