Why it hurts so bad

Hook

Why it hurts so bad, when you were my calm and my storm,

why your silence sound like thunder in my bones?

I replay your goodbye like a song I can't change,

and every night you’re the echo I can't escape.

Verse 1

I still wear your sweatshirt on the nights I miss home,

it smells like old promises and roads I used to know.

My phone lights up with ghosts of what we said,

and the bed folds around the shape of emptiness instead.

Thought love was a map, you said "follow me,"

but you left out the part where I fall off the edge, see?

I keep finding traces of you in everything I do,

like a chorus on repeat that keeps pullin' me through.

Verse 2

You said baby, "I’m here," then turned into a maybe,

left me learning how to breathe through grief so weighty.

Late-night excuses, eyes that wouldn't meet mine,

you were a crooked line trying to pass for a design.

Friends tell me "move on," but they don't know the sound,

of your name like a prayer when the lights tumble down.

I hold on to the pieces, but they cut when I try to mend,

and it’s hard to trust the morning when the night feels like the end.

Verse 3

I learned to hide the bruise behind a smile and a line,

told myself I’m fine, that healing is a straight line.

But it’s crooked, and messy, and loud in the dark,

I scribble little prayers on the back of my heart.

Therapy and late calls, friends who know my name,

they stitch up the edges, teach me how to reclaim.

You taught me how to break, but I’m learning how to build,

turn the noise of your leaving into something that feels real.

Verse 4

Now I sleep a little lighter, let the windows breathe,

watch daylight wash away the outlines of what used to be.

I still taste you in rain, in that song on the radio,

but the ache’s learning grammar — it isn’t all I know.

There’s a softness in mornings that didn’t used to be,

a promise in small things, a quiet getting free.

I keep the lessons, not the hurt, carry love without the sting,

and someday I’ll find someone who knows how to stay and sing.

Outro

I let go of the echo, let the chorus fade slow,

learned how to hold myself even when the nights are cold.

It still stings sometimes — yeah, I won’t lie —

but I’m learning to be whole with or without you by my side.

Porque music

See you when I see you
