sad really

Alright… here’s a sad one. Slow, quiet, late-night kind of sad. --- **Verse 1** The house is loud when you’re not here Every clock just mocks the silence I still sleep on your side of the bed Like gravity might pull you back in Your jacket’s hanging by the door Still smells like broken promises I tell myself I’ll throw it out But I’m not that brave yet **Pre-Chorus** I keep rehearsing things I’d say If you ever called my name But the phone just stares at me Like it knows I’m lying **Chorus** I loved you more than you stayed More than you meant to More than you could Now I’m learning how to breathe With half of my chest gone And I hate that you’re fine While I’m not moving on **Verse 2** I scroll through pictures I shouldn’t see Smiling like it didn’t cost you me You look lighter, you look free Guess I was the weight I water plants you used to touch They’re growing, I’m not much Funny how life keeps going on When your whole world doesn’t **Pre-Chorus** I keep pretending I don’t care Like missing you is something fair But every song on every street Sounds like your goodbye **Chorus** I loved you more than you stayed More than you meant to More than you could Now I’m talking to the dark Like it knows your secrets And I hate that I still hope When I know I shouldn’t **Bridge** If love’s a lesson, I failed the test I gave you everything I had left You taught me how to disappear While standing in the same place **Final Chorus** I loved you more than you stayed And that’s the truth That’s the scar You were a chapter I’d reread Till the pages fell apart If you ever miss me I hope it hurts just a little Like it hurts my heart **Outro** The house is quiet, but so am I Guess this is what goodbye sounds like --- If you want, I can rewrite it darker, simpler, or turn it into a piano/lo-fi vibe 🎧💔
