The Weight Between Us

Verse 1
I’ve been holding this storm in my chest,
Counting the words I never confessed.
Every truth tastes like rust on my tongue,
But I told you, ‘cause the lie felt worse than the wrong.
Your faces froze, the air turned thin,
I don’t know where to put my hands or my skin.


---

Pre-Chorus
And I keep replaying it in my head,
The look you gave, the things we left unsaid.


---

Chorus
I told you the truth, and the mess it became,
The way I let him hide behind another name.
The silence after hit harder than the hate,
I’m drowning in the space we can’t navigate.
I never meant to tear the trust apart,
But guilt is a shadow camped in my heart.


---

Verse 2
I hear their laughter in places it’s quiet,
The kind of mean that wears you down till you hide it.
And I don’t know if you think less of me now,
Or if you’re just lost, trying to figure out how
To stitch up the rips in the seams of our side,
When my truth became the thing we couldn’t hide.


---

Pre-Chorus
And I keep replaying it in my head,
The way the room felt colder instead.


---

Chorus
I told you the truth, and the mess it became,
The way I let him hide behind another name.
The silence after hit harder than the hate,
I’m drowning in the space we can’t navigate.
I never meant to tear the trust apart,
But guilt is a shadow camped in my heart.


---

Bridge
I don’t want pity, I just want to be heard,
Not turned to a headline, not made into words.
I’m standing in the gap between right and regret,
Hoping you remember the way we first met.


---

Chorus (Final)
I told you the truth, and the mess it became,
The way I let him hide behind another name.
The silence after hit harder than the hate,
I’m drowning in the space we can’t navigate.
I never meant to tear the trust apart,
But guilt is a shadow camped in my heart.
