Yeah…
They think forgiveness heals everything.
It don’t.
Verse 1
My name is Peace but my thoughts still riot
Smiles in public, pain stay quiet
I don’t miss you, I miss who I was
Before words turned jokes into broken trust
I was young, reckless, mouth too fast
Didn’t know one sentence could poison the past
They framed my name, I wore that stain
Two years of silence taught me pain
Grade seven truth finally came to light
We talked again, yeah it felt right
I thought healing meant we could restart
Didn’t know healed wounds still tear the heart
Hook
You forgave me, but nothing changed
Just a different kind of distance, different kind of pain
I’m not heartbroken, I’m hollow inside
That’s what happens when feelings die
You forgave me, but cut me loose
Now I’m living with the lessons you choose
Some doors close without a fight
Not hate… just the end of light
Verse 2
I joked too hard, yeah I crossed that line
Didn’t read the room, didn’t read the sign
Called you a fool, meant no harm
But words don’t care about intent or calm
Two months quiet, phone stayed dead
Every apology stayed in my head
When you said “okay”, I felt the lie
‘Cause okay don’t mean you stayed nearby
Now I move colder, choose my tone
Learned some battles fought alone
I don’t explain, I don’t defend
Silence became my closest friend
Hook
You forgave me, but walked away
Left me with thoughts I don’t replay
I’m not in love, I’m just aware
That trust breaks easy, even when repaired
You forgave me, still chose space
That’s how people disappear with grace
No anger left, no tears to cry
Just a part of me that quietly died
Bridge
I don’t blame you, I blame the cost
Of growing up too young through loss
I don’t chase closure, I don’t ask why
Some truths hurt more when you let them lie
I learned forgiveness ain’t a reset
Some things clean, but you don’t forget
So I wear this calm, this heavy skin
A healed heart don’t mean you let them in
Outro
So this is Peace, colder now
Careful with words, careful with how
No love songs left, no pain to show
Just lessons etched in undertone
You weren’t my forever, you were the proof
That silence sometimes tells the truth
I didn’t lose you, I lost the old me
And that’s the part that still hurts me🖤
