Verse 1 Nineteen with a heart wide open, You smiled like no one ever lied. You’d disappear for days at a time, Come back with heaven in your eyes. I never asked the questions I was too afraid to hear. Love can make a stranger Feel safer than your fear. Verse 2 You kept your secrets in your jacket, Folded up behind your smile. I told myself they’d make sense someday, If I just stayed awhile. You’d kiss my forehead in the morning, Like nothing could go wrong. It’s funny how forever dies Without making a sound. Pre-Chorus I loved the version you let me hold, The one that only lived at night. Maybe I was never yours… Maybe I just borrowed the light. Chorus You were already halfway leaving While I was learning how to stay. Building little futures in my head You’d already thrown away. I kept searching your silence For words you’d never say. You weren’t just keeping secrets— You were keeping me away. Bridge Sometimes I wonder if you loved me, Or just loved being loved. If I was another page you’d fold Inside a story left undone. I still replay the early mornings Before the shadows found your face. Back when your eyes still looked like home Instead of someplace I couldn’t place. Outro If I ever cross your memory, I hope it hurts a little too. Not because I need revenge… Just because I was true. You said forever without shaking, And I believed every word. Now all that’s left of us is silence… And everything I never heard.
