what's left isn't love

I saw the signs in every silent stare
The late replies, the empty space we’d share
We drifted slowly like a boat lost at sea
I knew it deep down but refused to believe

Your words felt colder, though your lips would still lie
We’d make promises just to watch them die
Holding on tighter to what slipped through my hands
It hurt to admit we reached the end

I fought the truth, tried to make us whole
But love’s not love when it takes this toll

What’s left isn’t love, it’s holding on to pain
A ghost of us that only leaves a stain
We’re shadows pretending in the dark of night
But no matter how we try, it won’t feel right

Your words felt colder though your lips would still lie
We’d make promises just to watch them die
Holding on tighter to what slipped through my hands
It hurt to admit we reached the end

Your words felt colder, though your lips would still lie
We made repromises just to space we'd share
We drifted slowly, like a boat lost at sea
I knew it deep down, but refused to believe

Your words felt colder, though your lips would still lie
We’d make promises just to watch them die
Holding on tighter to what slipped through my hands
It hurt to admit we reached the end

I fought the truth, tried to make us whole
But love’s not love when it takes this toll

What’s left isn’t love, it’s holding on to pain
A ghost of us that only leaves a stain
We’re shadows pretending in the dark of night
But no matter how we try, it won’t feel right

The echoes linger, though the room’s now bare
I feel your absence in the empty air
I trace our memories like scars on my soul
But I know it’s time to let it go

We built a dream that we couldn’t sustain
A house of cards brought down by the strain
I thought we’d last, but we fell apart
Now all we are is broken hearts

I fought the truth, tried to make us whole
But love’s not love when it takes this toll
What's left was close but it sliped away
And all that's left is what I couldn't say

The echoes linger, though the room’s now bare
I feel your absence in the empty air
I trace our memories like scars on my soul
But I know it’s time to let it go

What’s left isn’t love, it’s holding on to pain
A ghost of us that only leaves a stain
We’re shadows pretending in the dark of night
But no matter how we try, it won’t feel right

And so I stand here with nothing to prove
Accepting that we both have to move
Not every story is meant to stay
Some love fades, and that’s okay
