Wednesday Doesn’t Fix This

Title: “Wednesday Doesn’t Fix This”

(Verse 1)

You say you were busy building something I can’t see

Fifty hours, porch lights, ghosts of who we used to be

You made your memories, I’m still waiting on mine

Sifting through a house full of “keep it” and “goodbye”

You say you did your best, you did what you could

But I’m drowning in a life that doesn’t feel like it should

I needed hands, I needed you, not stories from before

Now I’m picking up the pieces scattered on the floor

(Pre-Chorus)

And I keep telling myself don’t make this a fight

But every word you say just dims the light

(Chorus)

It’s a hard season, yeah it’s cutting me deep

No breaks in between all the roles I keep

I’m raising a life while I’m losing my own

Screaming for help but I’m still alone

You say you’ll be here, say Wednesday’s the day

But pain doesn’t pause just because you stay

We love each other but that’s where it ends

’Cause love doesn’t mean we know how to mend

(Verse 2)

You say it wasn’t you, that it wasn’t your choice

But silence hits louder than the sound of your voice

I asked for a moment, you gave me a smile

Like “no problem” fixes the distance of miles

You took your trips, made your plans, lived your life

While I was here breaking, just trying to survive

And yeah maybe it’s messy, maybe I’m wrong

But this is my truth, I’ve held it too long

(Pre-Chorus)

You say I don’t see it the way that you do

But I see every time I needed you

(Chorus)

It’s a hard season, yeah it’s wearing me thin

Trying to be everything while I’m caving in

Building a future with no room to breathe

Holding it together with nothing beneath

You say you’ll be here, say Wednesday’s enough

But showing up once doesn’t make this love

We love each other but it’s not the same

’Cause love without presence just feels like pain

(Bridge)

Maybe we’re just a story that never made sense

Two hearts connected but living in defense

I wanted a mother, you wanted to cope

Now we’re just talking in fragments of hope

And I hate that it hurts, and I hate that it’s true

That I needed more than you knew how to do

(Breakdown)

So call me wrong

Say I don’t see it right

But I’ve been fighting this alone every night

(Final Chorus)

It’s a hard season, yeah it’s all I can say

I’m tired of begging for you to stay

Not just physically, not just for show

But the kind of love that actually shows

You say you’ll be here, say Wednesday you’ll come

But healing takes more than a day and a hug

We love each other… I know that it’s true

(Outro)

But I don’t think we ever knew what to do.
