The Search

You said you needed space to breathe,
Said love like ours was too much heat.
You chased the thrill of something new,
But every shadow looked like you.

I watched you fade,
One memory at a time.
Thought you’d find light,
But you lost your shine.

You went searching for me in others,
But none could hold the truth.
You traded fire for fleeting covers,
And burned the best of you.
Now you stand in the ruins,
Of all your lovers and lies—
You went searching for me in others,
And got lost in your own disguise.

You thought love was something to chase,
But it was right there in your face.
Now I’m the ghost behind your grin,
The silence underneath your skin.

You called it freedom,
But you just ran blind.
You found a hundred bodies,
But never peace of mind.

You went searching for me in others,
But none could hold your truth.
You traded fire for fleeting covers,
And burned the best of you.
Now you stand in the ruins,
Of all your lovers and lies—
You went searching for me in others,
And got lost in your own disguise.

Now I’m the name you never say,
But think of every day.
You found your freedom, sure—
But you lost what love was for.

You went searching for me in others,
But love don’t work that way.
You can run to every stranger,
But your heart will never stay.
Now you stand in the mirror,
Haunted by your own eyes—
You went searching for me in others,
And found your own goodbye.
