The words “I love you”
Feel just like glass
Hold them too tight and you bleed
Set them down and they break
I thought I was being kind
But the one I hurt the most
Was me
I see it now
Your name frozen
On a read message
In the dark screen
I see my own face
Morning comes, still unsent
The truth I couldn’t say
Soaks my pillow
I loved you, that alone
Made me weak enough
If I’d let myself be honest
Would you still be here?
La la la…
Words with no voice
La la la…
Feelings stay behind
The more you called me “cute”
The more afraid I got
To not be hated
I learned to lie
“I’m fine” became
Such an easy spell
It keeps everyone away
Even me
Still wearing strength
Like a habit
I left the real me
Somewhere back there
Night turns over, still unsent
Counting reasons I wasn’t chosen
I wish you happiness
And somehow
My own place
Feels further away
Hey
When did girls learn
How to hold back tears
So well
All we want is to be loved
So why does love
Feel like a test?
To the girl I used to be
Not being chosen
Doesn’t erase your worth
Even if you’re not
Someone’s number one
You are still
Living beautifully
Coffee alone tastes
Less bitter now
Memories don’t fade
They settle in
Even pain
Becomes part of the view
New clothes
A new street
The eyes in the mirror
Have changed
Those unsent words
Begin to glow
Deep inside my chest
Because I loved you
Back then
I can choose today
That lost love
Didn’t break me
It made me stronger
Kinder
Freer
Morning comes, still unsent
And yet the world goes on
I want to be proud
Of the girl who loved you
Next time
I won’t hesitate
I’ll press send
La la la…
It’s okay to cry
La la la…
It’s okay to be weak
La la la…
Love is proof
That we lived
Light slips through the curtains
Bringing today with it
I won’t
Leave myself
Behind again
