[Intro – whispered / adlibs]
(yeah… I know…)
(feels like I lost me…)
(can’t breathe…)
⸻
[Verse 1]
I told you I was fine, but I’m breaking inside,
every truth I hide cuts me like a knife.
You gave your soul, I gave confusion in return,
Now I’m burning in the silence, I never learn.
(hmmm… never learn…)
I built my walls from lovers I survived,
thought I could love you and still stay alive.
But your eyes saw too much of what I keep,
and now I’m drowning in the secrets I can’t keep.
(yeah… I can’t keep…)
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t mean to hurt you,
I just didn’t know what love could do.
Every time I get too close,
I lose the parts I thought I knew.
⸻
[Chorus]
This is my side of the story,
I’m not cold, I’m just scared to feel.
Every touch feels holy,
but I don’t trust what’s real.
I push you just to miss you,
I run before I heal.
This is my side of the story,
that I’ll never reveal.
(never reveal… never reveal…)
⸻
[Verse 2]
I see your name and my chest gets tight,
I replay our ghosts in the pale blue light.
You said you’d wait, you said you’d stay,
but I’m built to drive good hearts away.
(away… away…)
The girl you love is not the one you see,
she’s a shadow of who she used to be.
I wear my pain like perfume in disguise,
smile with my lips while my spirit dies.
⸻
[Bridge – breakdown, whispered + layered vocals]
(can you still feel me?)
(if I fade, would you believe me?)
(you saw heaven in my chaos…)
(…but I only knew how to bleed…)
⸻
[Final Chorus – softer, emotional climax]
This is my side of the story,
I loved you in my quiet way.
But love feels like a warning,
so I keep my heart at bay.
Don’t hate me for the distance,
it’s the only way I stay.
This is my side of the story…
I had to walk away.
(yeah… walk away…)
(fade away… fade away…)
