Your Side of the Story

Verse 1

Saw your name on a mutual friend’s phone

Felt my stomach drop for no reason at all

Guess I’m still learning how to let go

Even after all this time and all these calls

You always knew the words to say

To make me question what I knew

Now I’m sitting in my bedroom

Trying not to rewrite you

Pre-Chorus

Maybe you’re telling everyone

How I was hard to love

Maybe you’re painting me as someone

I never really was

Chorus

I’d love to hear your side of the story

The one where you don’t leave out your mistakes

The one where I’m not the villain and you’re not the glory

The one where you admit your heart could break

But I know that’s not how it goes

You get your version, I get ghosts

And everybody hears your truth before mine

So I stay quiet one more time

Verse 2

I still remember that November

When we drove around till three AM

Talking like we’d last forever

Funny how forever always ends

Now your shadow’s in the rearview

And your fingerprints won’t fade

I keep finding little pieces

Of the mess we both made

Pre-Chorus

Maybe one day I’ll stop caring

Who’s right and who’s wrong

But tonight your memory’s louder

Than every damn song

Chorus

I’d love to hear your side of the story

The one where you don’t leave out your mistakes

The one where I’m not the villain and you’re not the glory

The one where you admit your heart could break

But I know that’s not how it goes

You get your version, I get ghosts

And everybody hears your truth before mine

So I stay quiet one more time

Bridge

Maybe the truth is somewhere in between

The things you said and what you meant

Maybe we’re both just people trying

To make sense of what we spent

Final Chorus

I’d love to hear your side of the story

But maybe I don’t need it anymore

’Cause closure never came from hearing sorry

It came from walking out the door

And now your name’s just letters on a screen

Not the whole world it used to mean

And for the first time in a while

I think I’m finally leaving you behind
