Temporary

(Verse 1)
We said it was temporary,
Just a season, just a phase.
Something we’d outgrow quietly,
Something time would rearrange.

We stayed calm, we stayed polite,
Called the tension “just a night.”
Told ourselves we’d be the same,
Once the worst had passed away.

(Pre-Chorus)
We didn’t see it happening,
The slow and subtle way
Something permanent was forming
While we said it’d fade.

(Chorus)
We thought the pain was temporary,
That the damage wouldn’t stay.
But we carried it in different ways,
And it followed us away.

We said we’d heal eventually,
But some things don’t erase.
We were wrong about what’s temporary—
Some scars don’t fade.

(Verse 2)
We learned new habits, new defenses,
Spoke less freely than before.
You stopped trusting what you felt,
I stopped asking for much more.

It wasn’t loud, it wasn’t cruel,
Just erosion, just the truth.
By the time we noticed it,
We weren’t who we used to be.

(Pre-Chorus 2)
We didn’t mean to hurt each other,
But intention doesn’t heal.
You can still be damaged quietly
By something that felt real.

(Chorus)
We thought the pain was temporary,
That the damage wouldn’t stay.
But we carried it in different ways,
And it followed us away.

We said we’d heal eventually,
But some things don’t erase.
We were wrong about what’s temporary—
Some scars don’t fade.

(Bridge)
There was no villain, no mistake,
No single moment we could blame.
Just two people holding on
A little longer than we should’ve stayed.

We didn’t break each other on purpose,
We just didn’t stop in time.

Ohohohohooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

(Chorus)
We thought the pain was temporary,
That the damage wouldn’t stay.
But we carried it in different ways,
And it followed us away.

We said we’d heal eventually,
But some things don’t erase.
We were wrong about what’s temporary—
Some scars don’t fade.

We thought the pain was temporary,
Just a bruise, not something deep.
But it changed the way we loved again,
The way we fall asleep.

We thought the pain was temporary,
That we’d close the door and heal.
But it changed the way we trust again,
The way we feel what’s real.

Mhmmmm

We don’t hate it, we don’t regret it,
We just finally see it clear:
What we thought was temporary
Followed us here.
