Lyrics

Used to catch myself staring
When you weren’t looking my way
Thought the silence was safer
Than anything I could say

Your laugh would echo in hallways
I memorized it like a song
Didn’t matter what you thought of me
Back then, I thought I belonged


I heard the whispers circling fast
From mouths that never knew my side
I laughed it off like it meant nothing
But something in me slowly died

You made me feel invisible
But I held on to every glance
Wrote your name like it meant something
Never gave myself the chance


You were the first to make me fall
Without ever reaching back
Left me hanging in the quiet

While you tore me down behind my back
And maybe you were never kind
But I kept you close all the same
Even now, you’re just a ghost
Haunting me like a song

And I’m not waiting anymore
Not hoping you’ll come clean
But sometimes I still wonder
If you ever thought of me


You were the first to make me ache
In a way that left no scars
Taught me how to love in silence
And how to lie to my own heart

Guess you’ll never really know
How much I let you see
But I kept the best parts hidden
Where you couldn’t ruin me

Even if someday you’re just a memory,
You’ll always have a special place in me
