Sad verse 1
I keep your name like a bruise on my chest
Tender to touch, but I press it anyway
I replay the nights I tried my best
Still woke up losing you every day
I said the words, but they came out wrong
Built apologies way too late
I swore I was trying, I swore I was strong
But I keep arriving at the same old gate
Sad pre-Chorus
Every step forward pulls me back
Like the past has a grip on my sleeve
Very sad Chorus
I’m holding on to what’s already gone
Like it might breathe if I don’t let go
I did my best, but I stayed stuck on
All the things I’ll never know
I’m drowning in the “almost right”
And the love I couldn’t save
I’m still here, frozen in time
Trying not to lose what I already gave
Sad verse 2
Your laugh still lives in the quiet room
Echoes louder than the truth
I packed my hopes, but I left them too soon
Now every dream smells just like you
I trace our story in broken lines
Every chapter ends the same
I learned too late how to read the signs
Now I’m fluent in guilt and blame
Sad Pre-Chorus
I keep fixing what’s already torn
Wondering why it still hurts to breathe
Very sad Chorus
I’m holding on to what’s already gone
Like it might breathe if I don’t let go
I did my best, but I stayed stuck on
All the things I’ll never know
I’m drowning in the “almost right”
And the love I couldn’t save
I’m still here, frozen in time
Trying not to lose what I already gave
Sad Bridge
If letting go means I forget your face
Then I’ll choose the pain, I’ll choose to stay
I’d rather be lost in yesterday
Than learn how to live without your name
Emotional sad final Chorus
I’m holding on till my hands are sore
To memories that won’t come back
I tried so hard to be something more
But I keep slipping through the cracks
If this is love, it’s a quiet fight
Between the heart and the truth
I’m still here, losing every night
Trying to move on — stuck loving you
