Languor

[Verse 1] I loved you too much. That’s the truth. I kept calling it “us” when it was just me. Your face still shows up in places it shouldn’t— on empty walls, in the dark of my phone, in the silence when I’m trying to sleep. [Pre-Chorus] And I’m tired of pretending I’m over something I never had. [Chorus] But I still feel you— in the breath I hold, in the ache that won’t leave. I still keep you— like a wound I don’t clean, like a thought I can’t delete. I shouldn’t feel you, but I do. God, I do. [Verse 2] Love used to be easy. Before you. Before I learned how heavy hope can get. Time slides past me now, fast, sharp— cuts a little every time I think your name. And I hate that. I hate that it still stings. [Pre-Chorus] And maybe moving on is just forcing yourself to stop waiting for someone who won’t come back. [Chorus] But I still feel you— in the quiet of my room, in the spots where I fall apart. I still keep you— like a ghost in my chest, like a habit I can’t break. I shouldn’t feel you, but I do. I do. [Bridge] Maybe we were nothing. Maybe I made it everything. You walked away clean, and I stayed here holding the mess you didn’t want. [Outro] Maybe one day I’ll stop carrying this. Stop carrying you. But not tonight. Tonight you’re still here— where you shouldn’t be.
