After you

“AFTER YOU” Verse 1 I gave you my trust, you gave me reasons to doubt, Had a storm in my chest, couldn't figure it out, Used to talk about forever, now forever's in the past, Funny how the strongest feelings sometimes never really last. I remember every promise, every word, every night, Now I replay conversations just to see where we went wrong, You were peace in my chaos, you were home in my heart, Now the place that felt like heaven feels the coldest when we're apart. I don't hate you, that's the part that's messing with my head, 'Cause the love I still remember ain't the love that's left, I can smile in front of people, make it look like I'm okay, But the silence gets much louder when everybody walks away. Hook Now I'm talking to the mirror like, “Who are you?” I see pieces of the person that I was before you, I gave you all my love, gave you all that I knew, Now I'm learning how to breathe in a world without you. And the memories hit different when the night gets cold, We were young with a dream, now the dream's getting old, If loving you was a lesson, then the lesson was cruel— Sometimes giving someone everything still ain't enough to make them choose you. Verse 2 You moved on, I'm still moving through the memories, Trying to separate the truth from what I wished we'd be, Had me thinking I was broken, had me questioning my worth, Till I realized your goodbye doesn't decide what I'm worth. I deleted every picture but the moments stayed alive, Funny how you can remove somebody and still feel them inside, Every song got a memory, every street got a scene, Every place we used to laugh somehow reminds me of what we used to be. I wanted your forever, you wanted something new, I was fighting for the future while you were halfway through, Now I'm writing all this pain into melodies and rhymes, Turning heartbreak into art, one line at a time. Outro So if you ever think about me, I hope you think of the best, Not the arguments and tears, not the weight in my chest, You were part of my story, but you don't write the end, I lost someone I loved— but I'm still finding myself again.
