[Intro]
Light leaks through blinds like a weathered vow
I press the pen to my chest, and the paper sighs out loud
[Verse 1]
Tonight the room is a memory I can’t outrun
Every breath tastes like a door that never opens to the sun
I keep you in a drawer of hours I pretend are done
But the ink keeps leaking back, and I’m the only one undone
[Pre-Chorus]
If I write enough, maybe the ache will be a little smaller
If I name you, maybe the clock can pause the hour after
[Chorus]
I am learning to carry a wound that won’t heal
A diary of silence where love used to feel real
I tell the walls, I tell the rain, I tell the night
That a heart can still beat after losing its light
[Verse 2]
Your voice is a shadow I carry in every room
A whisper that pets the spine and stabs the tune
I count the commas between us like a prayer I wronged
And I’m listening for you in echoes that never belong
[Pre-Chorus]
If I whisper your name, maybe the sorrow will listen
If I sleep with the ache, maybe dawn will forgive this
[Chorus]
I am learning to carry a wound that won’t heal
A diary of silence where love used to feel real
I tell the walls, I tell the rain, I tell the night
That a heart can still beat after losing its light
[Bridge]
Some days I pretend I am not here, not hurt, not torn
But the page keeps turning and the ache is sworn
To stay with me like a second skin I never chose
To wear, to wear, until I learn to let go
[Chorus]
I am learning to carry a wound that won’t heal
A diary of silence where love used to feel real
I tell the walls, I tell the rain, I tell the night
That a heart can still beat after losing its light
[Outro]
So I write you down one more time, in fragile, honest ink
And close the book of us, where I learned how to sink
