[Intro]
Silent room, a clock hums low, the air remembers every vow
The bed holds the echo of words that never kept their pace somehow
[Verse 1]
I wore your promises like a coat of warm intent,
But in the sleeves, the cold truth crept in every sentence
You said forever, but forever wasn’t gold, it blurred to gray
Now I count the promises, one by one, and they slip away
[Pre-Chorus]
If trust is a fragile glass, I carried it with care,
But shards stitched into my ribs, I learned to breathe in repair
[Chorus]
Your words were bright with light that never reached the dawn
I woke to fingerprints of doubt, the trust I couldn’t hold on
If apologies could quilt the night, we’d sleep in softer skies
But silence grows in hollow rooms where truth hides in disguise
[Verse 2]
I traced the dates you swore to keep, like constellations faded,
Names of promises we carved, now walls have confessed them jaded
I’m not angry at the past for turning into ash and dust,
Just learning how to speak again when I learned to mistrust
[Pre-Chorus]
If trust is a fragile glass, I carried it with care,
But shards stitched into my ribs, I learned to breathe in repair
[Chorus]
Your words were bright with light that never reached the dawn
I woke to fingerprints of doubt, the trust I couldn’t hold on
If apologies could quilt the night, we’d sleep in softer skies
But silence grows in hollow rooms where truth hides in disguise
[Bridge]
So I fold the letters, not to erase, but to forgive the shape
To loosen the grip of what we promised, not to mend the break
[Chorus]
Your words were bright with light that never reached the dawn
I woke to fingerprints of doubt, the trust I couldn’t hold on
If apologies could quilt the night, we’d sleep in softer skies
But silence ends the story where the honest heart replies
[Outro]
Maybe dawn will bring a different vow, or maybe I’ll learn to mend
The weight of words kept or kept apart, is where I meet my friend
