damaged mask.

I say I'm good, I make it look easy Leave your name unread

when the night gets needy New city,

same shadow in the backseat I don't chase,

but your memory tracks me I keep my hands clean,

keep my tone flat Tell my friends I don't even think back

But the silence gets loud when the lights go black And every

little thing brings the whole year back

I don't break down,

I just disappear

Turn the music up so I don't hear

All the words I swallowed when you were here

Now they circle my head like you're still near

I'm nonchalant, but I'm not untouched I wear it like armor,

it weighs too much

You moved on clean,

I got stuck in the dust I don't say I miss you,

but I miss us

I look so calm while my mind runs wild Smile for the

room like a well-trained lie

You took your love and you left me the why

Now I sleep with the damage you left inside

I don't call, I just type then delete it See your face

in a crowd, act like I didn't see it

Got a new routine,

but I can't keep peace in it Every road I take got

your fingerprints in it

You said I was cold,

maybe you saw through me I made being distant look like it

couldn't bruise me Now I hear your voice in the things that

soothe me

And I hate that the worst of you still moves me

If I seem okay,

that's a practiced thing If I don't react,

that's the mask I bring I forgave your leaving,

not what it did

You left me grown,

but you broke the kid

I'm nonchalant, but I'm not untouched Still holding the pieces I call

too much

You moved on clean,

I got stuck in the dust

I don't say I miss you,

but I miss us

I look so calm while my mind runs wild Smile for the

room like a well-trained lie

You took your love and you left me the why

Now I sleep with the damage you left inside
