I gave up my freedom for somethin’ real,
Traded steel-toed boots for Sunday feels.
Got a job, worked overtime,
Tryna prove I was worth your time.
Built a house on borrowed dreams,
Thought love was simple as it seems.
But while I was fightin’ to make us true,
You were slippin’ away — out of the blue.
I got a job, got a house,
Bought a ticket just to see your smile.
Hit the gym, found the fire I lost a while.
I built a life, thought I found the one,
But you packed up my heart and you were gone.
You ghosted me, girl, like I was nothin’ new,
I changed my whole damn world — for you.
You said you loved the way I’d grown,
How I stood up tall, how I held my own.
So I killed the man I used to be,
To build the one you swore you’d need.
Then just like that, you disappeared,
Left me starin’ at my biggest fear.
You found another, moved on fast,
And left me buried in the past.
Now the walls still echo with your laugh,
Every dream we made just turned to ash.
You ripped the trust right out my chest,
Taught me love don’t mean no rest.
You wrecked my hope, you crushed my faith,
Left me cussin’ God in this broken place.
I’d opened up for the first time in years,
And you drowned that heart in your silence and tears.
How could you say you saw forever,
Then vanish like we were nothin’ together?
I was standin’ there with my arms open wide,
And you left me talkin’ to the night sky.
Now I’m pourin’ whiskey over what’s left,
Tryna numb this hole in my chest.
You didn’t just leave — you burned it all,
Now I’m learnin’ how to crawl.
I quit my job, can’t face the day,
Can’t stand the things that know your name.
Your toothbrush still in the drawer,
I can’t touch it — not anymore.
Your ghost sleeps on your side of the bed,
Your voice still lives inside my head.
I see you smilin’ with someone new,
And it cuts deeper than the truth.
We were kids just playin’ grown,
Talkin’ ‘bout forever on the phone.
You wore my hoodie, I wore that grin,
Thought young love was how it’d begin.
We parked that truck by the old bleachers,
Swore we’d never need no preachers.
You promised me your heart was true,
Guess forever don’t mean much to you.
I got a job, got a house,
Bought a ticket, but you let me down.
Thought I’d finally found solid ground.
I built a life, thought I found the one,
But you tore it apart, left me undone.
You ghosted me, girl, like I was nothin’ new,
I changed my whole damn world — for you.
Now I’m drivin’ home on an empty road,
Your name still weighs a heavy load.
I thought I’d seen the light, I thought I’d won,
But you were gone before the dawn.
You stole my soul, my heart, my truth…
Yeah, I changed my whole damn world — for you.
