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
