Love hurts

(Verse 1 – male)

We used to trace each other names across our skin

Like you were carving somewhere safe to live

Said, “don’t be scared, I’m never leaving you”

Now every word you said just cuts in two

Your shadow is in my room

It lingers longer than your perfume

The bed still sinks on your side at night

Like even ghosts still hold you tight

I tried to wash you from the sheets

But pain don’t fade, it stains too deep

Now everything just smells like then

Like broken vows and “just be friends”

⸻

(Verse 1 –female)

You paint me like I didn’t care

Like I just vanished into air

But you don’t know the weight I held

Or how I broke before I fell

I stayed too long inside your storm

Tried to keep you safe and warm

But loving you felt like a war

And I was losing more and more

⸻

(Pre-Chorus – Both, overlapping)

Me: You said forever, I believed

You: Forever’s heavier than it seems

Me: You let go so easily

You: You never saw what it did to me

⸻

(Chorus – Both)

We tell two versions of goodbye

Yours was peace, and mine’s why I cry

You found a way to finally breathe

I’m still choking on what we used to be

You call it ending, I call it loss

You walked away, I paid the cost

If love was real, then tell me why

It sounds so different when we say goodbye

⸻

(Verse 2 – male)

I count the cracks across my chest

Each one a place you used to rest

You took the parts that felt like home

Now I’m just skin and empty bones

I see your name in strangers’ eyes

In passing cars, in lullabies

The world keeps moving like you’re gone

But mine got stuck where you moved on

⸻

(Verse 2 – female)

You think I sleep just fine at night

Like leaving didn’t cost my life

I hear your voice in every quiet

Regret don’t fade, it just gets private

I had to choose between two pains

Stay and drown, or break the chain

You call it leaving you behind

I call it saving what was mine

⸻

(Bridge – male, breaking)

Then why does it feel like I’m the only one bleeding?

Why am I the one still begging for meaning?

You got your closure, I got your ghost

You got to heal… I got you the most

⸻

(Bridge – male, soft, conflicted)

I never meant to be your wound

But I was dying loving you

Sometimes goodbye ain’t giving up…

It’s choosing not to self-destruct

⸻

(Final Chorus – Both, louder, emotional)

We tell two versions of goodbye

Yours makes sense, and mine asks why

You found a way to finally breathe

I’m still drowning in your memory

You call it healing, I call it scars

You found yourself, I lost who we are

If love was real, then tell me why

It feels like I’m the one who died

⸻

(Outro – fading, distant)

Male: I still love you…

Female : I know…

Both: That’s the worst part…
