Together then not really together

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You hate me now, it's plain to see, But once, my babe, you were my whole world to me. Your sweet words turned to silent pain, Now my heart is crying out in the rain. [Chorus] I still remember every "I love you" that you said, Believing forever was the path we tread. But somewhere along this twisted, broken way, You slowly pushed my love away. [Verse 2] Maybe I made mistakes, maybe I was wrong, But loving you was never just a fleeting song. If hating me gives your heart a little peace, Then I'll let my feelings cease, And fade into the background where I belong. [Bridge] Even if you hate me, I'll still pray That happiness finds you on some brighter day. 'Cause true love doesn't turn to bitter hate— It just hurts, and it bleeds, and it learns too late. [Verse 3] I'm back on my own, flying solo again, But I'm not the person I was back then. I still trace the edges of the little things, The late-night talks and the promises That made me believe in forever's wings. [Chorus] Now there's no one to wait for at the end of the day, No special message that takes my breath away. No reason to check my phone a thousand times, Just memories visiting my heart and mind, Even when I don't invite them to stay. [Verse 4] I'm learning to sit in my own company, To wear a smile that's just for me. Not expecting someone else to come and mend, Accepting that some beautiful stories end Without the happy chapter we pretend to see. [Bridge] I'm not saying I stopped believing in love, Or the magic that I used to dream of. But sometimes choosing peace is better than the ache, Than holding on to something that's starting to break, And letting go of what no longer feels the same.
