Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You said, “This is it, this is real,”
On the third date, spinning like a ferris wheel.
You talked about vows before I said yes,
You loved me like a promise, then left like a guess.

[Pre-Chorus]
We danced in the glow of what could’ve been,
You lit the match, then blamed the wind.
Now I’m the one in ashes, trying to understand
How you held my heart with an open hand.

[Chorus]
You said forever, then walked away praying,
Called it God’s will, but it felt like delaying.
Said I loved too much, and that scared you away—
But love doesn’t break just because it’s brave.
And I’m not sorry for giving you everything,
I’m just sorry you dropped it like it didn’t mean a thing.

[Verse 2]
You told your friends nothing, you shut the door,
Like you weren’t the one who said “let’s build more.”
Now you leave work early, avoid the noise,
And I sit here silenced like one of your toys.

[Bridge]
You cried in Georgia, said you’d never leave,
But even tears can lie when you don’t believe.
You said you’d fix this, that we’d make it right—
But love’s not real if it runs from the fight.

[Chorus (reprise)]
You said forever, but forever came fast,
Like a storm in spring that never could last.
You made it sound holy, but left me in flames—
I was your home, and you left me unnamed.

[Outro]
So keep the shirts. Keep the prayers.
Keep the guilt that you don’t want to wear.
I’ll keep the girl who loved without fear—
The one you lost, but I still hold dear.
