Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I trusted your “I’m okay” Like something solid and true The clock keeps doing what it does Like nothing broke in two You sat right across from me And I never felt so blind If I’d known you were out of air I would’ve given you mine Pre-Chorus The night you left keeps looping Like it never reached goodbye I’m stuck inside the moment Where you were still alive Chorus Did I look right through your pain? Did you beg in ways I couldn’t name? Was I unclear that you could come When the weight of living felt like a loaded gun? Maybe I could’ve helped Maybe I didn’t do enough You didn’t say anything Now I’m bleeding in the “what ifs” Verse 2 I replay the days before Like a warning I ignored Every laugh feels wrong now Knowing what it covered for The feeling that I didn’t save you Lingers every day How do I forgive the version of me Who thought you’d always stay? Pre-Chorus 2 I trusted your silence Like it meant that you were safe Now silence is everything Everything I have left [Chorus (slightly fuller, still restrained] Did you reach for me at all Before you let yourself fall? Did you hope I’d somehow know When you stopped wanting to be whole? Was I unclear that you could come Broken, shaking, coming undone? Maybe I could’ve helped Maybe I failed you, love You didn’t say anything [Bridge (piano drops low, voice almost breaking] I ask your ghost the questions I was too late to ask you alive Did it hurt more staying quiet Than it did to decide to die? Were you tired of pretending Or just tired of being strong? Did you think the world was better If you quietly slipped along? They tell me it wasn’t my fault Like that’s supposed to change the sound Of your name breaking in my mouth Every time I say it out loud If love could cross the distance Between despair and air Then why was mine not enough To keep you here? [Final Chorus (full emotion, but still fragile] Did I look right past your pain? Did you die while saying “I’m okay”? Was I unclear that you could come When living felt heavier than the sun? Maybe I could’ve helped God, I swear I would’ve bled You didn’t say anything So now I say it all To a memory instead [Optional piano outro — long fade, unresolved chord] To a memory instead
