Couldn’t Face It

Verse 1

Heard the silence getting louder every day

Like a storm building up we wouldn’t name

You stopped reaching for me in your sleep at night

And somehow I still called us “fine”

Kept hanging pictures over cracks in the wall

Smiling through the feeling we were about to fall

Love turned into something I could barely recognize

But I looked away every time

Pre-Chorus

Deep down I knew it

I just didn’t wanna lose it

So I romanticized the pain

Just to make myself stay

Chorus

Now your ghost is all over my room

Dancing through the smoke and the perfume

I knew your love was fading slow

But I was too afraid to let go

Now every little thing feels cold

Every memory burns like gold

And the hardest truth I ever faced

Was knowing we were breaking while I begged us to stay

Verse 2

We turned into strangers wearing familiar skin

Having conversations that meant nothing in the end

I kept tracing over all the parts of us we lost

Trying to find where it went wrong

You gave me less while I gave everything

Funny how love can make heartbreak look sweet

I was holding onto pieces already falling apart

Bleeding just to keep your heart

Pre-Chorus

Deep down I knew it

I just didn’t wanna lose it

So I kept pouring love in flames

Hoping fire could change

Chorus

Now your ghost is all over my room

Dancing through the smoke and the perfume

I knew your love was fading slow

But I was too afraid to let go

Now every little thing feels cold

Every memory burns like gold

And the hardest truth I ever faced

Was knowing we were breaking while I begged us to stay

Bridge

Maybe love isn’t always loud

Maybe sometimes it dies without a sound

Just two people slowly disappearing

While pretending they still found meaning

And I hate that part of me still reaches out

Even after figuring everything out

Final Chorus

Now your ghost is all over my room

But tonight I’m finally facing you

No more covering mirrors with light

No more calling darkness “alright”

Yeah it hurts to finally know

Some things end long before they go

And the hardest truth I ever faced

Was loving someone I already lost anyway

Outro

Heard the silence getting louder every day

Guess the truth was waiting for me to say it first
