Hear Me Breaking {her}

Hhh…

I still hear you…

I’ve been tryna stitch the pieces of my head back tight,

But every thread I pull just brings you back at night.

I run from love ‘cause it scares me cruel,

Guess I learned early how to build these walls as a rule.

But you—

You saw through every guard that I raised,

You held my shaking hands on the worst of days.

I left ’cause loving you was too real,

Too raw to heal…

And I don’t know how to tell you

That I still sleep in your old sweater.

I pretend that I’m fine without you,

But I’ve never been better at lies…

Never been better…

Can you hear me breaking?

Every night I call your name.

I keep my heart from shaking,

But it trembles just the same.

If you feel me in the silence,

Know I never meant to fall apart.

Can you hear me breaking?

Still echoing in your heart.

I replay our last fight like a film on loop,

I was scared you’d leave, so I left you first— uncouth.

Sometimes loving means you ruin what’s pure,

Guess I’m guilty of wanting something I wasn’t ready for.

But God,

You made me believe I could be more than my damage,

More than the fears I tried so hard to manage.

Tell me—

Do you still dream of me too?

Or am I just a memory to you?

I swear if I could go back,

I’d choose you without holding back.

Give anything to rewrite that track—

Take me back…

Can you hear me breaking?

Every night I call your name.

I keep my heart from shaking,

But it trembles just the same.

If you feel me in the silence,

Know I never meant to fall apart.

Can you hear me breaking?

Still echoing in your heart.

If there’s a place where we still meet,

Where your heartbeat sounds like home to me—

I’ll run there on bare feet…

Just say the word, baby.

I’ll find you…

Where we were meant to be.
