Verse 1]
I used to wake up smiling, dreamin’ of your face
Now I wake up broken in this cold, empty place
You held my heart like it was made of glass
But you let it fall, now all that we had is the past
[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to hold on, tried to make you see
But the man I loved ain’t the one hurting me
You stopped showin’ up, started tearin’ me down
So I packed up my pieces, but I’m still hangin’ ‘round
[Chorus]
It’s hard to walk away, when my soul still remembers
The fire we lit, those late night embers
But love don’t live here anymore
It walked out when you slammed that door
You didn’t just hurt me — you hollowed me out
Now I’m learning to live in a house full of doubt
Yeah, love don’t live here anymore…
And neither can I
[Verse 2]
Used to dance in the kitchen, now I cry on the floor
I gave you my all, but you wanted more
More control, more pain, more lies in disguise
While I looked for forever, you just looked in my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I held on too long, thought love could fix this
But love don’t cut deep and leave scars like this
I whispered goodbye in the dark of the night
While you slept like nothing had ever gone right
[Chorus]
It’s hard to walk away, when my soul still remembers
The fire we lit, those late night embers
But love don’t live here anymore
It walked out when you slammed that door
You didn’t just hurt me — you hollowed me out
Now I’m learning to live in a house full of doubt
Yeah, love don’t live here anymore…
And neither can I
[Bridge]
You broke the woman who stood by your side
Now I’m building her back, one tear at a time
I ain’t bitter, just finally awake
Love is not what you take and break
[Final Chorus]
It’s hard to walk away, when your heart’s still bleedin’
But I’m done with beggin’ and barely breathin’
‘Cause love don’t live here anymore
It left with my hope and slammed that door
You didn’t just hurt me — you hollowed me out
But I’m finding my voice in the silence now
Yeah, love don’t live here anymore…
And I’m learning to fly
