Ceasefire Verse 1 You slipped in quietly like something I could use. The clocks kept ticking on, but I forgot to choose. Nothing dramatic happened. No sirens, no alarms. That’s how I learned a life can fade while still inside your arms. I still catch myself reaching for your name. It’s strange how pain can leave, but craving stays the same. Pre-Chorus Nobody warns you— The hardest part of letting go is all the empty spaces that still remember you. Chorus You called a ceasefire. My body never heard. Now every quiet night still echoes with your whisper just beneath the hurt. You said you’d let me go. I held on even worse. Tell me— How do I stop needing something that only makes it worse? Ceasefire, Cease… fire… Verse 2 I don’t miss what you became. I miss who I had to be to pretend I was okay. I kept bending until I broke inside your rhythm. When I finally stopped, there was almost nothing left that felt like living. The mirror says I’m healing. Then why do I still shake when I pass the places where you used to stay? Pre-Chorus I thought control was strength. Now I think strength might’ve been the part of me that should’ve walked away. Chorus You called a ceasefire. My body never heard. Every empty moment still begs for your return. You let me go alive. I carried every scar— Every craving. Every lie. Every version of myself that didn’t get this far. Ceasefire… Cease… fire… Bridge Here’s the truth I’ve spent months trying not to face— I wasn’t afraid of losing you. I was afraid that once you were gone, I’d meet the person who stayed through everything. And realize they deserved better all along. So I kept choosing you. It hurt less than admitting how much I gave away willingly. Final Chorus There’s no ceasefire. Not yet. Some battles wear your name long after you’re gone. Some prayers come too late to save anyone. If I ever needed you, it wasn’t the worst thing I ever did. The worst thing was calling my destruction relief. So tonight, I’ll bury the version of me who thought surviving meant never letting go. Ceasefire… Cease… fire…
