Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I ran from everything I feared But you were always standing there I built a wall to keep you out You found a way to disappear I said I’m fine a thousand times And wore the lie like second skin But every step just pulls me back To where it all begins [Pre-Chorus] You were the calm before my storm But I was never what you wanted [Chorus] Now I’m burning through the days Running faster from the blame You were never mine to lose But I still carry all the shame I was holding on too late To a fire meant to fade You were just a lesson learned I was never meant to stay [Verse 2] I chased the echoes of your voice In places where you’d never been And every face became a ghost Reminding me of what I did You left without a final word But somehow that still hurt the most No closure, just a hole inside Where I became my own ghost [Pre-Chorus] You were the calm before my storm And I destroyed us just to feel it [Chorus] Now I’m burning through the days Running faster from the blame You were never mine to lose But I still carry all the shame I was holding on too late To a fire meant to fade You were just a lesson learned I was never meant to stay [Bridge] You gave your light I turned away Now I live in what I made I’m not the hero I just played the part And left a mark I can’t erase [Final Chorus] Now I’m burning through the days Still pretending I’m okay You were never mine to hold But I still wish you would've stayed I was holding on too late To a fire meant to fade You were just a lesson learned I was never meant to stay
