She deserves that

I still check my phone some nights,

Scroll too far and see your smile

She don’t ask, she just holds me tight

Like she’s known I’ve been bleeding a while.

She kisses the cracks you left in me,

Doesn’t flinch at my shattered skin

Tells me love’s not always pretty—

But she’s still diving in.

And I’m trying to let go,

Trying to give her what she’s owed

She’s patient with the parts of me

I’ve never really shown

She knows I still love you,

But she never makes me choose

She’s the peace I never knew—

And she deserves that.

Yeah, she deserves that.

You were wildfire, untamed and fast

She’s the rain that helped me last

I still dream of what we had

But she’s stitching over your past

She’s the quiet in my war

The answer I was too afraid to ask for

I still miss you—and I hate that I do

But she doesn’t walk when I tell the truth.

So I’m trying to let go,

Trying to give her what she’s owed

She’s patient with the parts of me

I’ve never really shown

She knows I still love you,

But she never makes me choose

She’s the peace I never knew—

And she deserves that.

God, she deserves that.

If you ever wonder if I moved on,

I’m still lost, just not alone

She’s the one holding my hand

While I mourn a love that’s gone.

I’m still trying to let go,

To give her more than just a ghost

She’s everything I didn’t ask for

But need the most

She knows I still love you,

But she believes in something new

So I’m learning how to love her back—

She deserves that.

Yeah… she deserves that.
