Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – fragile] I’m fine… That’s what I keep saying, anyway. [Verse 1 – soft, aching] I kept your sweater in the corner, Still pretending you’ll come back. I trace the letters of your name On all the things I should unpack. I’ve been talking to the silence, It answers better than you did. Funny how the truth gets louder When there’s nothing left to fix. [Pre-Chorus – breaking gently] I try to sleep through the missing, But the nights don’t let me go. Every memory keeps insisting On playing me reruns of “almost.” [Chorus – emotional, delicate] I’m holding on to pieces of quiet Where I used to hold your hand. I still reach for you sometimes— My heart forgets what my mind understands. I know time will soften the edges, But I’m still learning how to breathe. I’m holding on to pieces of quiet ’Til they stop hurting me. [Verse 2 – tender sadness] I keep your message thread untouched, Like turning pages in a book. If healing had a timeline, I’d give it every hour it took. I’m not angry that you left, Just hurt you didn’t stay. Some people are meant to teach you How to lose in a gentler way. [Pre-Chorus] I keep trying to forget you, But forgetting feels like grief. You were all the songs I swore I’d never skip, never delete. [Chorus – fuller] I’m holding on to pieces of quiet Where I used to hold your hand. I still reach for you sometimes— My heart forgets what my mind understands. I know time will soften the edges, But I’m still learning how to breathe. I’m holding on to pieces of quiet ’Til they stop hurting me. [Bridge – small but raw] Maybe someday I’ll smile Without feeling you fade. Maybe loving you won’t hurt— But today’s not that day. [Final Chorus – whisper-soft] I’m holding on to pieces of quiet But I’m learning how to stand. Even if I still reach for you— Someday I won’t have to again. I know healing takes a moment, Or maybe two, or maybe three… I’m holding on to pieces of quiet While I come back to me.
